“CONSTITUTIONALISM AND SOCIAL JUSTICE: WHY THE RULE OF LAW MATTERS TO THE LIVES OF ORDINARY PEOPLE” a discussion talk with Qazi Faez Isa

Isnt a constitution supposed to enforce our fundamental rights?
Why does it seem to be silent on violations instead?
What does the constitution have to say on communal and public property? On labour? On the environment? On sovereignty?
Does it make any difference whether a constitution exists or not?
How can we get the constitution to protect us?
Can it keep being changed at will?
Whats wrong with it that it has to be changed?
What is a constitution anyway?

These and other questions will be answered and discussed at an Info and Q&A session with Qazi Faez Isa, Barrister-at-Law and Advocate, Supreme Court of Pakistan

_{Comment Policy: Moderating comments is a very difficult thing to enforce and we do not like to stop anyone's opinion no matter how bizarre it might be. The general trend of this blog has been that we never censor comments based on political or ideological point of view. But to bring a little sanity in the debate we strongly frown upon comments that are abusive, off-topic, use foul language, resort to racial attacks, use caps-locks, habitual flamers are shown the door especially those commenters who resort to ad hominem attacks are definitely deleted when caught. Simply said, if you can carry a civilized discussion then the floor is open to your hearts desire. But, we still reserve the right to delete any comment that we deem inappropriate without reason}
