Azerbaijani constitutional referendum, 2009 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Azerbaijani constitutional referendum, 2009
A constitutional referendum was held in Azerbaijan on 18 March 2009. It consisted of 29 measures voted on separately; the most controversial were a measure to abolish presidential term limits and a measure to greatly restrict press freedom. The measures passed, with approval of measures between 87.14% and 91.76%, disapproval between 4.59% and 7.24% and invalid votes between 3.64% and 5.70%; turnout was 71.08%. This provision of the constitutional amendment was condemned by the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe, which stated that "As a rule, it can be said that the abolition of existing limits preventing the unlimited re-election of a President is a step back, in terms of democratic achievements".〔 (Venice Commission Questions Constitutional Changes In Azerbaijan )〕〔(Opinion No. 518/2008 "OPINION ON THE DRAFT AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN" Venice, 13-14 March 2009 )〕 Professor Wojciech Sadurski, Challis Professor of Jurisprudence at the Faculty of Law of Sydney University, in his legal opinion stated that the conduct of the Azeri government in the adoption of the amendment violated the principle of transparency and that it constituted a breach of European law under the European Convention on Human Rights as well as the international law.〔(Legal opinion ahead of elections in Azerbaijan )〕〔(Legal opinion on constitutional changes concerning presidential elections in Azerbaijan by Prof. Sadurski )〕 The amendment was also criticized by the Azerbaijani opposition.〔(Opposition Condemns Changes to Azeri Constitution )〕 On the basis of the amendment in 2013 Ilham Aliyev ran for president for the third time. ==References==
