In response to the mass protests in Chile in October 2019 and the major socio-economic implications of the neo-liberal-inspired constitution established during the Pinochet era, Chile and its citizens have taken on the social project of initiating the process of a profound constitutional reform. Today, the country is a real constitutional laboratory whose experience is of interest to many jurists around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this video, law students bring to light the involvement of Canadian legal scholars in the constitutional discussions currently taking place in Chile. A new constitution is expected to be adopted in 2022. Professor Pierre-Gilles B\u00e9langer<\/a> had the unique opportunity to contribute to the Chilean constitutional reform process with scholars from the University of Ottawa, the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al and the Universidad de Chile. They collaborated for a study of various constitutional frameworks around the world intended to inspire the work of members of the Chilean Constituent Assembly for the drafting of a new constitution. As Professor B\u00e9langer points out, this kind of exercise in comparative law can actively contribute to change in Chile while also inspiring a reflection on the strengths and shortcomings of the Canadian constitutional framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This visual advocacy video was produced by law students Rodolfo Valdes Arias, Yoann Axel Emian and Max Dayan as a term project for the Visual Advocacy \/ Law and Film<\/a> course at the Faculty of Law, Civil Law Section, University of Ottawa. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
