Messages from HE the Governor, Leader of Government Business and Leader of the Opposition

The purpose of the Constitutional Modernization Initiative 2007 is to promote the move towards an advanced democratic system of government, thus improving the Constitution of the Cayman Islands. However, in order for the Cayman Islands to undergo constitutional reform, the people of these islands must get involved in this process.

Why is it Important to Get Involved in the Constitutional Modernization Initiative?

The Constitution Modernization Review is an important opportunity for creating public awareness on the fine tenets upon which our governance is established and to encourage discussion on the way forward.

The Cayman Islands Constitution is a living document that ensures that we live in a state of social and political stability by -

  • Establishing the role of Her Majesty in the Territory;
  • Determining how the executive arm of government operates;
  • Determining the extent to which the social, economic and political decisions that affect the Islands are made by the elected representatives;
  • Providing protective measures in the event of national emergencies;
  • Providing protective measures in the event that one of our elected representatives cannot fulfill his or her functions;
  • Establishing criteria for those qualified to vote or run for elections;
  • Creating bodies to ensure that fairness prevails;
  • Recognizing the protections accorded,and rights of, individuals in the Cayman Islands.

It's YOUR life, YOUR country, YOUR future.
