Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law in Mauritian Transitions: A Comparative Study

Mauritius is an African country transitioning towards a more established legal framework, including constitutional and legal reforms aimed at enhancing the rule of law. A comparative analysis approach is employed, examining historical documents, legal texts, and secondary data from various judicial and governmental sources to assess changes in legal frameworks and their effects on governance. Significant shifts have been observed in the proportion of laws aligned with international human rights standards across different transitional periods. The study concludes that while significant progress has been made, there remains a need for further alignment with global best practices to fully establish robust constitutionalism and the rule of law. Recommendations include continued legal reforms aimed at aligning existing laws with international standards and fostering public awareness of these changes.
