About the Commission

Forty-one years after enacting its Independence Constitution in 1981, the people of Belize have a new and second opportunity to engage in a comprehensive constitutional review exercise. On 14 November 2022, the Government of Belize officially launched the People’s Constitution Commission (PCC) after the enactment of the People’s Constitution Commission Act by the National Assembly of Belize in October 2022. The PCC Act mandates the PCC, comprised of a chairperson and twenty-six (26) Commissioners, to “draft and guide the process of promulgating a new Constitution for Belize or amendments to the Belize Constitution” (Introduction to the Act).
