In
June 1988, in order to prepare to the UN International Year
of the Family in 1994, the General Council approved a resolution
convoking the Regional Presidents to conduct a survey on the
Countries Constitutions of theirs respective regions, regarding
the inclusion of specific chapters or paragraphs about the Family.
The work was coordenated by Professor Germain Bouverat and the
results were excelent contributing substantivelly to the preparation
of WFO position for 1994.
For
the Celebration of the Tenth Anniversary of the International
Year of the Family, Dr. Deisi Kusztra, WFO President, Professor
Bouverat, today retired, and jornalist Sâmar Razzak decided
review the survey done in 1988.
Comparing the updated Constitutions specially the ones updated
after the middle of the 90's, the survey clearly showed a significative
increase of Constitutions that included a theme on the Family.
It
is an interesting work. Please find below what each named country
says about the Family in its Constitutions.
