cent in 2004. Turnout at local elections has been equally low. During the 1998 elections, turnout was poor because of the boycott campaign organised by RENAMO and its allies to protest their dissatisfaction with the preparations leading up to the elections. In 2003, turnout was only 28 per cent. 14 It is important for Mozambique to recapture the vibrancy of political party competition and the large voter turnouts that characterised the early years of its multiparty democracy. This will more closely associate larger proportions of the population with the democratic system and, by implication, strengthen its legitimacy. III. Recommendations 299. The APR Panel recommends that Mozambique should: • Institute a national programme of civic education to promote respect for the rule of law at all levels of government and society [CNE; CPE; MPs; CSOs]; • Conduct a programme of law review in order to update all outdated laws and modernise the legal system [MOJ]; • Eliminate discriminatory administrative practices in order to delink state and party and create a level playing ground for all political parties [Office of the President; MOJ; CNE]; • Carry out the compilation and revision of the voters’ roll more transparently in order to instil greater confidence in the electoral process [CNE; Electoral Observatory]; and • Handle the collation of election results properly to safeguard the integrity of the process [CNE; STAE; Electoral Observatory]. Objective 3: To ensure the promotion and protection of economic, social, cultural and political rights I. Summary of the CSAR Civil and Political Rights 300. The Constitution sets out the rights, duties and fundamental freedoms of Mozambicans and guarantees important civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. According to the CSAR, 77.9 per cent of the respondents interviewed were unaware of the contents of the Constitution, and hence also of their rights and duties. 301. Access to justice by the citizenry remains a problem, although efforts have been made to improve the situation through the recent adoption of the Law on Judicial Organisation and the Law of the Prosecutor and of the Magistrates. 14 EISA (2005:12) 117
