a year after its creation by presidential decree, on February 18, 2008, the ad hoc commission for revision of the Constitution (“the Ahanhanzo-Gléglé Commission”) released its report on December 11, 1990. Article 15 of the revision project of fundamental laws was rephrased in these terms: “Every individual has the right to life, liberty, security and the integrity of their person. (…) noone can be sentenced to death.” The revision project must be subject to a national debate and a referendum. No dates have been set.
