A New Constitutional Reform Process for Belize
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 Peopleâs Constitution Commission (PCC) after the enactment of the Peopleâs 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 âdraft and guide the process of promulgating a new Constitution for Belize or amendments to the Belize Constitutionâ (Introduction to the Act).Â
