Taliban Constitution

The Taliban Constitution, established in 1998, is based on Islamic law (Sharia) and local customs. It emphasizes Islam as the foundation of government, grants significant authority to religious leaders, and outlines responsibilities of government and citizens to uphold Islamic principles. The constitution recognizes provincial autonomy and mandates laws aligned with Islamic values, with limited rights for women and minorities. It seeks to create a society governed by Islamic principles but is criticized for its restrictive policies and lack of protections for broader human rights. Overall, it aims to blend religious authority with governance, prioritizing Islamic law as the core legal framework.
