US STATE DEPT REPORT ON SWAZILAND

The annual human rights report of the US State Department for Swaziland has been published (HTML version, HERE). It catalogues the human rights abuses by the Swazi government in 2010. It seems the US accepts that the 2005 Constitution is the fundamental law in Swaziland. This is doubtful. I am quite convinced that the 1973 Decree is in fact the real constitution, and that the Head of State can rule by decree even against the 2005 Constitution's terms. More on that shortly.
