The Constitution of Rwanda was adopted by referendum on May 26, 2003. It replaced the older Constitution of 1991.
The Constitution provides for a presidential system of government, with separation of powers between the three branches. It condemns the Rwandan genocide in the preamble, expressing hope for reconciliation and prosperity.
