Constitution of India

Ljubljana – The National Assembly passed on Wednesday amendments to the communicable diseases act after the Constitutional Court declared parts of the act and by extension the measures introduced during the epidemic unconstitutional.

The Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) established on Wednesday that the provisions of article 4 of the Government Emergency Ordinance are constitutional "to the extent to which the actions and measures ordered during the state of alert are not aimed at restricting the exercise of some rights".

The draft law which is to be approved in Monday's Government meeting includes a series of measures which can be taken during the state of alert regarding the unfolding of some economic-social activities within the public institutions, so that the health and life be protected in a "coordinated and coherent" manner," Justice Minister Catalin Predoiu said on Monday in the beginning of the Gov't me

The President of the Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR), Valer Dorneanu, told Thursday evening private television broadcaster Antena3, that the fundamental human rights cannot be affected by an emergency ordinance, and that the measures on the restriction of fundamental rights and freedoms to be valid, a law should have been drafted.

President of India Ram Nath Kovind is on an official two-day visit to the Republic of Cyprus, where he is expected to sign a number of bilateral agreements between the two countries.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu, who says he wants the new constitution to "brew a little," recently met his party's constitution writing commission and asked it to produce a text that would not allow any "tutelage" and would contain all kinds of freedoms. Rights and freedoms will therefore apparently take their place in the new constitution "in line with contemporary democracies." 

The Serbian government declared on Thursday evening a nationwide emergency situation due to the flooding.

The decision was made after the session of the national emergency situations headquarters.

Irrespective of political affiliations, there is one issue on which there is an almost complete consensus in this country: Turkey needs a new constitution.
