Title Civil and Political Rights in Iraq and South Africa: Lessons for the Egyptian transition
Summary The democratic revolution that engulfed Egypt during the Arab Spring has given the country the chance to start anew, free of massive social inequalities or external influences, which differs greatly from both the post-Apartheid period in South Africa and the post-war situation of Iraq in 2005. Nonetheless, going beyond the drafting process and bearing in mind their direct effects and the potential for improvement, this paper will prove that the two existing constitutions address similar purposes in unique ways. It will then use this comparison to cater for some of the problems likely to be faced by Egypt’s drafting committee in enshrining civil and political rights into the country’s new fundamental law.
