The Declaration on the Establishment of the Authority of the People was brought into force on 2 March 1977 by the

Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. The Declaration set the constitutional framework of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, and was considered part of its constitution alongside the Great Green Charter of Human Rights issued in 1988.^[1] This amendment to the constitutional proclamation of 1969 would remain in force until the adoption of the interim constitutional declaration

on 3 August 2011.

Provisions

According to one translation, the Declaration recognises the

Holy Koran as the constitution of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (see below). However, in another translation the Declaration states that the Koran is the Sharia of society in the Jamahiriya.^[1]
