Equatorial Guinea's constitution

Equatorial Guinea's constitution establishes the country as a sovereign, unitary republic with a president as the head of state and government. It guarantees fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, assembly, and equality before the law. The constitution separates powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, with a National Assembly serving as the legislative body. It affirms political stability, national unity, and the legal authority of state institutions. Although it provides for democratic principles, in practice, political power has been concentrated, and the legal framework aims to maintain stability and sovereignty while formalizing citizens' rights and duties.
