Building the People's Constitution: Your Responsibility (Fiji)

This document is a comprehensive civic education manual provided to the people of Fiji in 2012 to help them understand the the new constitution, and the constitution-making process itself. It canvasses the following topics: the political context that gave rise to the need for a new constitution, the anticipated constitution-making process, the differences between Fiji's three constitutions, the guiding principles of the new constitution,  the rights to be included in the new constitution along with the mechanisms through which they will be enforced/upheld, and the systems of government, including the structure of the executive, the design of parliament, the judiciary, and corruption, among other things. The document concludes by addressing the concern that the new constitution may be futile in light of the political coups that were characteristic in Fiji. Finally, the document translates the most important terms referenced therein from English to i-Taukei and Hindi, and includes a copy of the 1997 Constitution.
