Expert meeting on national constitutions and globalisation

On Friday 12 March 2010 HiiL organised an expert meeting with a view to contributing insights to the work of the State Commission for Review of the Constitution (Staatscommissie Herziening Grondwet), which at the request of the Dutch Government, is presently drafting a report on the desirability of amending the Dutch Constitution.

The discussions focused on two related themes - both within the context of globalisation: The role and function and role of a constitution as a document that creates and supports a sense of ‘nationhood’
The role and function of a constitution in the relationship between national and international law and in the relationship between national legal orders.

The expert meeting was attended by approximately 40 invited participants, including many members of the State Commission for Review of the Constitution.
