IRO calls for recognition of the Constitution as the supreme law

Dear Editor,
The question of values must take a central place in our deliberations and be articulated and made explicit if we are to move beyond a national community divided by partisan politics to one with shared responsibilities for one another’s well-being and security.
No effective and peaceful order can be founded and sustained unless it is firmly grounded in the principles of justice and the rule of law.
Adhering to such principles provides the necessary stability and legitimacy that are required to gain the support of the peoples that the system aims to serve.
The religious community of Guyana, being primarily concerned with the peace, stability and unity of the peoples of this country, calls on all political parties to recognise the Constitution of Guyana as the supreme law and the highest governing document in the Republic of Guyana.

Sincerely,
Inter-Religious
Organisation
