Abstract

One of the key elements of post-conflict peace and post-conflict state building is the creation of a new
legal order as an appropriate tool for political and governance transition. In this sense, the adoption of a
new constitution after a conflict, especially an armed conflict, and particularly an internal armed conflict,
is a main component and necessity of a political transition. Post-conflict constitution-building can certainly provide an opportunity to shape the institutional and governance framework. The Constitution can play in some way, a peace agreement role, but it is surely a framework that sets up the rules by which the state will function in the future. Hence, the adoption of a new constitution by post-conflict states signalizes a clear break with the past.
This paper is focused on the constitutional process as one of the main aspects of post-conflict state building. In this sense, we tried to find adequate answers to several, according to the author’s opinion, relevant questions regarding legal and political processes followed by many challenges and opportunities.
