On December 1, 2020 the Rule of Law Programme Middle East/ North Africa, in cooperation with the Arab Association of Constitutional Law (AACL), launched the Online Journal of Constitutional Law in the Middle East and North Africa with the publication of this inaugural issue. The new journal aims to encourage greater discussion and critical analysis of constitutional and legal developments throughout the Middle East and North Africa region.

Featuring articles by legal scholars and practitioners from the region, the Journal facilitates access to information on regional constitutional issues and debates for the global community of practitioners and scholars. Edited by the Arab Association of Constitutional Law, it will publish two issues every year. It will also periodically publish special issues that will cover either a specific topic at the cutting edge of constitutional law or a single country undergoing significant constitutional transitions or transformations.
