Statement on Draft Constitution in Afghanistan
Statement by the Press Secretary
The United States takes note of the release by the Afghanistan
Constitutional Commission and Government on November 3 of their draft
Constitution for the new post-Taliban Afghanistan. The public issuance
of this very important draft, the product of consultation and dialogue
among Afghans, marks an important milestone in Afghanistan's political
development. Now the Afghan people have the opportunity to review the
draft Constitution in the period leading up to the December
Constitutional Loya Jirga, which will finally approve Afghanistan's new
Constitution.
