About Constitutional Congress

The Constitutional Congress (CC) is a multi-representative body, mandated by Cabinet in 2007 to complete the constitutional reform process.

Its Terms of Reference comes from Cabinet decision (C [2006] 5). According to the 2005 White paper on the Reform of the Solomon Islands Constitution, Congress will "undertake the task of finalizing a draft text of a new constitution of Solomon Islands..."
