Iceland’s Crowd Sourced Constitution
Katrin Oddsdóttir was one of 25 members of the Constitution Council of Iceland, which drafted the new constitution in a process recognised worldwide for its emphasis on democratic methods and social media tools. The draft constitution contains clauses on environmental protection, highlights international human rights law and the rights of refugees and migrants, and proposes a redistribution of Iceland’s natural resources – notably fishing.
It was kicked into touch by politicians in 2011 — but it’s making a comeback. In the 2017 video below Katrin is speaking at “The Pots & Pans Revolution, Re-heated – Iceland’s Constitutional Comeback” a meeting chaired by Lesley Riddoch with Patrick Harvie MSP and supported by the Scottish Government
