The Constitution of the Republic of Namibia has been amended three times: by Act No. 34 of 1998, known as the Namibian Constitution First Amendment Act 1998; by Act No. 7 of 2010, known as the Namibian Constitution Second Amendment Act, 2010; and by Act No. 8 of 2014, known as the Namibian Constitution Third Amendment Act, 2014.

This book focuses on the constitutional developments in Namibia since 1990. It begins with an account of Namibia's struggle for self-determination that serves to put the Namibian constitution in context and then proceeds to consider the principal features of the Namibian constitution, the organs of state and the fundamental principles that provide a framework for the effective functioning of a democratic state. It goes on to examine in depth the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights and freedoms protected by the Declaration of Rights, analysing the relevant jurisprudence of the Namibian courts in the light of international human rights law.

The book provides a compilation of papers on current condition of the management of the rule of law in Namibia.

Our Constitution speaks in general terms of liberty and property, of the privileges and immunities of citizens, and of the equal protection of the laws--open-ended phrases that seem to invite readers to reflect in them their own visions and agendas. Yet, recognizing that the Constitution cannot be merely what its interpreters wish it to be, this volume's authors draw on literary and mathematical analogies to explore how the fundamental charter of American government should be construed today.
