“March 2009”.
Summary: “The current political crisis over elections in Afghanistan stems, in part, from a fundamental gap in Afghanistan’s legal and political system: lack of agreement on what entity(s) has the power to resolve constitutional disputes, and how that power is accessed. Without a clear path to settling constitutional disagreements, the system becomes deadlocked as disputes arise, exacerbating tensions between Afghanistan’s fragile institutions and factionalized political elite. Filling this gap in Afghanistan’s constitutional system is of paramount importance to stabilizing the political system. The executive, legislative, and judicial branches should begin intensive discussions to hammer out a compromise”.
