“CONSTITUTIONALISM AND SOCIAL JUSTICE: WHY THE RULE OF LAW MATTERS TO THE LIVES OF ORDINARY PEOPLE” a discussion talk with Qazi Faez Isa

Isnt a constitution supposed to enforce our fundamental rights?
Why does it seem to be silent on violations instead?
What does the constitution have to say on communal and public property? On labour? On the environment? On sovereignty?
Does it make any difference whether a constitution exists or not?
How can we get the constitution to protect us?
Can it keep being changed at will?
Whats wrong with it that it has to be changed?
What is a constitution anyway?

These and other questions will be answered and discussed at an Info and Q&A session with Qazi Faez Isa, Barrister-at-Law and Advocate, Supreme Court of Pakistan
