LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING IN TRANSITIONAL STATES: ! THE CASE OF PALESTINE!

Authors

  • Dr. Mutaz M. Qafisheh (Author)

Abstract

This paper explores the ongoing efforts of Palestinian legislative drafters to comply
with modern standards in the drafting of legislation. It presents an example on how
new States might start legislating from scratch and gradually develop a system that
could function despite the extreme challenges, even under foreign occupation with
limited technical and financial resources. The paper starts by describing the
legislative process in Palestine, with focus on the drafting of parliamentary statutes.
It then introduces the legislative drafting techniques as reflected in the ‘Legislative
Drafting Manual,’ a guide currently in use by the parliament and administrative
institutions. It concludes by highlighting the achievements and pitfalls that
characterized the Palestinian legislative drafting journey over the past twenty years." !
