Dr Silvia Suteu (Associate Professor at 新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws) won this year鈥檚 ICON-S International Society of Public Law Book Prize for her monograph . Published by Oxford University Press, the book explores the role of eternity clauses in constitution-making, constitutional adjudication, and constitutional reform and provides a unique analysis of unamendability in democratic constitutionalism.聽The ICON-S Committee awarding the prize noted that Dr Suteu鈥檚 book 鈥渃hallenges the conventional wisdom in which eternity clauses may enshrine human rights and stabilise democracy鈥�, and lauded its reasoning and findings as 鈥渋nsightful and illuminating.鈥�

Dr Suteu commented:

"I am honoured to receive the 2023 ICON-S Book Prize. Writing the book was a labour of love over many years, started at Edinburgh Law School and completed in the wonderfully supportive research environment at 新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws. I benefited from the help of many mentors and peers along the way, learning from each and being challenged by many on answering the core question the book grapples with: is deepening constitutional entrenchment the answer to the ever more complex attacks on constitutional democracy? The book cautions constitutional scholars and practitioners not to ignore unamendability鈥檚 own risks and potential for backfiring and to recover the radical democratic potential of constitutional change. I am grateful to the ICON-S Committee for seeing the value in my approach. I am also thrilled to see my colleague, Berihun Gebeye, recognised for his excellent scholarship, which is bound to forge new paths in the study of African constitutionalism."

Dr Berihun Gebeye (Lecturer in Law at 新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws) was also given a Special Mention for , published by Oxford University Press. The book asks and seeks to answer why we need a new theoretical framework for African constitutionalism and how this could offer us better theoretical and practical tools with which to understand, improve, and assess African constitutionalism on its own terms.聽The ICON-S Committee remarked that Dr聽Gebeye鈥檚 book is 鈥渁n indispensable tool for comparative constitutional law scholars that wish to understand the origin and predicament of African constitutionalism.鈥�

Dr Gebeye said:

鈥淚t is a great honor to receive such recognition from the leading learned society in public law in the world."
