AFGHAN CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION FORMED
Nematullah Shahrani, former head of the Constitutional Drafting Commission (CDC), said on 25 April that a 35-member Constitutional Commission has been formed to begin a national public educational and consultation process on the preliminary draft of Afghanistan's future constitution (see "RFE/RL Afghanistan Report," 10 and 24 April and 1 May 2003), AFP reported. Shahrani will head the new commission, which includes seven female members and will study the draft for one month before touring Afghanistan's provinces to inform the public and gauge their reactions. The "constitution document is not a goal in itself, the goal is the implementation by and for the people," AFP quoted Knut Ostby, a senior deputy director for the UN Development Program, as saying.
