Abstract

Certain situations can so threaten the constitutionality of the state that the binding constitutional provisions cannot, or at least, not with the necessary speed handle state of emergencies sufficiently. The possibility of such situations, thus, requires the adoption of laws on state of emergency, which permit circumvention of such binding provisions effectively. The objective of this paper is to examine various ramification of the subject, state of emergency, on a comparative basis – the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Arab Republic of Egypt. Thus, issues such as the act of proclamation of state of emergency, presidential powers and state of emergency, state of emergency under the 1999 Constitution, the role of the National Assembly in the act of state of emergency, state of emergency and human rights, consequences of proclamation of state of emergency.
