Human rights in Namibia are currently recognised and protected by the Namibian constitution formed in 1990 by a 72-seat assembly.[1] The assembly consisted of differing political parties. After a draft, the constitution was agreed upon by all members of the seven political parties involved.[1] 21 March 1990 marks the first day Namibia operated under the Constitution and also marks the recognition of Namibia as an independent nation.[2] Chapter 3 of the constitution entitled Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms, also referred to as the Bill of Rights, outlines the human rights of all Namibian citizens.[3]
