Two important aspect of the newly amended constitution:
ARTICLE 12 - 15:
Every Haitian is subject to all rights, duties and obligations attached to their nationality. Multiple nationality is acceptable with the amendment to these articles.
ARTICLE 17.1 and 31.1.1:
The amendments to these articles aim to increase the participation of women in government. They hold the government to have at least 30% of its seats held by women.
