Joint Press Release: Concerns Over Amendments to the Constitution of the Maldives

A joint press release by 11 Maldivian civil society organizations expresses grave concern over the hastily passed Constitutional Amendments Bill, submitted to Parliament on 19 November 2024 and ratified by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu on 20 November 2024. The signatories criticize the lack of public consultation and specific amendments to Articles 115 and 73, and call for adherence to democratic norms and broader public participation in constitutional change.
