Title XII
Of the Final Provisions
Article 102
The legislation and the regulations in force in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania continue to be
applicable as long as they have not been modified, in the forms specified in the Constitution.
The laws prior to the Constitution must be modified, if it applies, to render them in conformity with
the constitutional rights and freedoms in a time not exceeding three years from the date of
promulgation of this constitutional law.
In case that the modifications specified in the preceding paragraph are not adopted in the prescribed
times, any individual can bring these laws before the Constitutional Council for examination of their
constitutionality. The provisions declared unconstitutional may not be applied.
