    Maldives constitution of 2008 : what makes it stand out from its predecessors?
    (Husnu Al Suood) Al Suood, Husnu; ހުސްނު އަލް ސުއޫދު
    This article provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Maldives' inability to establish a democratic and durable constitution, despite numerous attempts over the years. The Maldives has faced significant challenges in transitioning from autocratic rule to a stable democratic system. Drawing upon extensive research and analysis of historical events, political dynamics, and various constitution-building efforts, this article seeks to identify key reasons behind the failure to achieve a democratic and durable constitution in the Maldives. The analysis begins by delving into the historical context of the introduction of the first Constitution of Maldives in 1932. It then examines the series of political and constitutional changes that have shaped the country's path towards democracy. Moreover, the article explores the challenges faced in the formulation and implementation of the various constitutions. Factors such as: (a) a lack of opportunity for people’s participation;(b) extensive control and power exercised by the political leaders over constitutional processes; (c) a lack of competent and an independent judiciary;(d) the literacy levels of the people; and, the economic conditions have hindered progress towards a durable constitution. Furthermore, issues of corruption and weak governance have also undermined the establishment of a democratic framework. By critically examining these factors, this article concludes that the failure of the Maldives to achieve a legitimate, democratic, and durable constitution can be largely attributed to the manner of its constitution–making.

    A maqasid al-shari’ah based composite index to measure socioeconomic prosperity in OIC countries
    (International Islamic University Malaysia) Nizam, Ismail; Larbani, Moussa; އިސްމާއިލް ނާޒިމް; މޫސާ ލަރބާނީ
    This paper proposes a Maqāsid Al-Shari’ah based Composite Index to measure the performance of Socio-economic policies of OIC member countries. The paper employs Al-Imām Al-Ghazāli and AlImām Al-Shātibī’s Maqāsid Al-Shari’ah framework which was later further extended to contemporary socio-economic context by Chapra (2009). The paper also presents the findings of proposed composite index using a vast array of 101 variables for 57 OIC members, taking data from over 15 sources. The countries will be ranked according to the performance in terms of their achievement of Maqāsid Al-Shari’ah. The results portray overall composite index ranking, individual maqāsid index ranking (dīn index, nafs index, nasl index, māl index and ‘aql index). Further, results based on three key OIC member regions (Africa, Asia and Middle East) will be presented. The proposed index offers a new tool for measuring the performance of OIC member countries with respect to socio economic policies. It also shows the key areas of concern when it comes to the attainment of Maqāsid Al-Shari’ah in Muslim societies. The paper will also highlight the data availability in OIC countries and propose areas for further data collection and data management in order to accurately measure Maqāsid Al-Shari’ah.

    Strengthening legal education and judicial training in the Maldives : a case study
    (ResearchGate, 2012-07) Nanwani, Suresh; ސުރެޝް ނަންވަނި; Ayus, A. Mohaimin; އ. މޮހައިމިން އަޔުސް
    The article discusses the law and policy reform activities carried out by the Asian Development Bank with its focus on countries in the Asia-Pacific region, and the legal interventions which impact upon citizens, private sector, and state institutions. The technical assistance seeks to strengthen legal education and judicial training in the Maldives. Under this project, the country’s recently-established Faculty of Shariah and Law was strengthened to provide legal education to students wishing to study shariah and law and obtain a law degree. Also, judicial training was provided to the country’s judges and island magistrates to carry out their duties in hearing cases and applying law and court procedures. The article postulates the need to take into account and address the local needs, context and sensitivities, rather than merely transplanting a western legal system which would otherwise not work for the country and its peoples where shariah is an important legal system. It also highlights the need to adopt a flexible approach in addressing problems and challenges rising during project execution to ensure realization of effective results. The article offers some thoughts and reflections on the lessons learnt for consideration in any developing country on a similar project to strengthen legal education and judicial training.
