Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law in Côte d'Ivoire's Post-Democratic Transition Period,

This study examines the impact of constitutionalism on the rule of law in Côte d'Ivoire during its post-democratic transition period. This research employs a survey methodology, gathering data from legal experts and judges in Côte d'Ivoire through structured questionnaires. A significant proportion (68%) of respondents highlighted challenges with judicial independence due to political pressures, indicating the need for strengthened constitutional protections. The findings suggest that while there have been improvements in legal frameworks, sustained efforts are required to ensure effective implementation and adherence to the rule of law. The government should prioritise reforms aimed at enhancing the impartiality of the judiciary and strengthening constitutional safeguards against political interference.
