The Constitution of North Cyprus

The North Cyprus Constitution, like that of most other countries, is contained in a single document. It can be altered by the National Assembly or by referendum to create, vary, or abolish an article. The Constitution thus may adapt to changing political conditions and ideas.

The organs of Government are clearly distinguishable, although their functions often intermingle and overlap. The legislature, the National Assembly, is the supreme authority. The executive branch consists of:

1. The President, Cabinet, and other Ministers who are responsible for initiating and directing national policy;

2. Government ministries which are responsible for national administration;

3. Local authorities, which administer and manage many local services; and

4. Public corporations responsible for operating particular nationalized industries or, for example, a social or cultural service, subject to ministerial control of varying degrees.

The judiciary determines common law, interprets statutes, and is independent of both the legislature and the office of the executive.
