The Ministry of Justice stated that over the past three years, ten new laws have been enacted in the country. Barakatullah Rasooli, the spokesperson for this ministry, said that these laws were enacted in various sectors following endorsement by the leader of the Islamic Emirate.
These laws include:
Law on Prevention of Land Grabbing
Law on Restitution of Grabbed Lands
Law on Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice
Law on Hearing Complaints
Law on Currency Exchange and Financial Services
Law on Industrial Zones
Law on Leasing Governmental Lands
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Justice stated: “Over the past three and a half years, the Ministry of Justice of the Islamic Emirate has published ten legal titles in official announcements after endorsement and enactment by the esteemed Amir-ul-Mu’minin, may Allah preserve him. The most significant among these are the laws on prevention of land grabbing, restitution of grabbed lands, promotion of virtue and prevention of vice, and hearing complaints.”
Meanwhile, some legal experts emphasized the crucial role of the constitution alongside other national laws.
Hiwad Zazai, a political analyst, stated: “A constitution is a fundamental need of a modern society. We live in a world where it is important both for governments and for nations. For governments, it matters in internal policy, domestic legitimacy, and in formulating foreign policy. For the people, it defines their responsibilities and obligations toward the system and governance.”
Asif Faqiri, a legal expert, said: “The constitution represents the collective will and conscience and is the embodiment of national sovereignty. This law outlines the structure of political power in the state, facilitates accountability, and guarantees minority rights.”
This comes as, since the rise to power of the Islamic Emirate, no official constitution has yet been drafted. However, officials from the interim government have stated that decisions are being made based on the country’s “Islamic laws.”
