Many constitutions make certain provisions unamendable. Courts around the world have held certain constitutional amendments unconstitutional. This symposium brings together a diverse group of international scholars to explore and expand the academic debate on unconstitutional constitutional amendments. The symposium will discuss both legal aspects and the political dynamics surrounding constitutional design, judicial review, and popular discourse on unamendability with reference to ten jurisdictions in East Asia (China, Taiwan, and Japan), Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam), and South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-972f99f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"972f99f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<table id=\"tablepress-28\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-28\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 450px;\"><caption style=\"caption-side: bottom; text-align: left; border: none; background: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;\">\u00a0<\/caption>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Course Date<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Session<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">CPD point(s)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">19-Nov-20<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Day 1\n(9:30 am \u2014 3:30 pm)<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">20-Nov-20<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Day 2\n(4:00 pm \u2014 9:30 pm)<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">4.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ad1814 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"2ad1814\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n.tablepress-id-28 tbody td{\n\tborder:1px solid #ddd;\n\tborder-collapse:collapse;\n\ttext-align:center;\n}\n\n.tablepress .odd td {\n    background-color: #ececec !important;\n}\n\n.tablepress thead th,\n.tablepress tfoot th {\n\tbackground-color: #f9f9f9;\n\tfont-size: 16px;\n}\n\n.tablepress {\n\tcolor: #707070;\n\tfont-size: 14px;\n\tfont-family: Lato, Arial, Helvetica;\n\tborder: 1px solid #ddd;\n}\n\n.tablepress tr td .title,\n.tablepress tr td a {\n\tcolor: #B51717;\n\tfont-weight: bold;\n\ttext-decoration: none;\n}\n\n.tablepress tr {\n\tline-height: 200%;\n}\n\n.tablepress thead th,\n.tablepress tbody td {\n\tvertical-align: middle;\n}\n\n.tablepress-id-28 td.column-1, .tablepress-id-28 td.column-2, .tablepress-id-28 td.column-3 {\n\ttext-align: center;\n}\n<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea of unconstitutional constitutional amendments has diffused widely.
