Abstract

This article examines the legal grounds of the Kuwaiti Constitutional Court's decision on the constitutionality of amendments introduced by Law No. 27 of 2016 to Article 2 of Election Law No. 35 of 1962. These amendments, implemented by the government, added conditions for the exercise of the electoral right in public elections. Deemed authoritarian and applied in an illicit manner, these amendments have been colloquially termed the “Law of the Insult." This article sheds light on individual's constitutional rights in Kuwait, observes the role of the Constitutional Court, examines the rules and terms of the Kuwaiti Election Law, determines the legality of the amendments introduced by Article 2 of the Election Law, and establishes the legal standpoint of the Constitutional Court's decision.
