Statute overview

About this statute

Public power comes from the people of Rwanda, and no individual or group may take that power for themselves. Suffrage is universal and equal, and eligible Rwandans have the right to vote and be elected. The Constitution is the country’s supreme law, and any law, decision, or act that conflicts with it has no effect. The provision says Rwanda is a sovereign, independent, democratic, social and secular republic, and that its founding principle is government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Rwanda’s territory includes land, rivers, lakes, and airspace within its borders, and its administrative entities are set by an organic law.
