Methods and Tools of Unification of Somali Laws in Light of the Provisional Federal Constitution of Somalia
Abstract
This study explores methods for unifying laws in Somalia in light of the constitutional frameworks. It does so by offering a comparative analysis of methods of unification in the federal systems, discussing the experience of Somalia in unification and analyzing methods and tools for unification as provided in the Provisional Federal Constitution of 2012. According to the study findings, there are several constitutionally established institutions with unification mandates, such as the Upper House, the NCC,
and the Constitutional Court. It also notes some constitutional guiding principles for unification.
To achieve economic integration with the regional and international communities, attract foreign investment and uphold the rule of law, the paper recommends the unification of laws based on a cooperative legislative model which assigns the central government the responsibility to develop laws.
