The Constitutional Tribunal of Cabo Verde decided that the law on the return of immigrants does not present unconstitutionalities. The tribunal analyzed the monitoring request presented by the President of the Republic, who had doubts about the guarantees provided in the law for children and families.
The Head of State had requested the monitoring of constitutionality by considering that some articles of the law might not adequately guarantee the rights of children and families in the immigrant return process.
After detailed analysis, the Constitutional Tribunal concluded that the law is in conformity with the Constitution, having found no violations of the fundamental rights of citizens covered by the legislation.
The court's decision allows the immigrant return law to continue in force, thus responding to the questions raised by the President of the Republic during the constitutional review process.
