Greenlandic Constitution

The Greenlandic Constitution establishes Greenland as a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. It defines Greenland’s political structure, including its parliament and government, and grants it autonomy in internal affairs such as education, healthcare, and natural resources. While Denmark handles foreign policy and defense, Greenland has the right to self-rule and can develop policies suited to its unique environment and culture. The constitution also recognizes Greenlandic language and cultural identity, ensuring the rights of its indigenous Inuit population. Overall, it provides a legal framework for Greenland’s governance, balancing autonomy with its connection to Denmark.
