The Sudanese National Assembly (Parliament) has approved the establishment of a seven-judge constitutional court, appointed by President of the Republic.
The Sudanese dailies said on Thursday that members of the court, which is in charge of settling constitutional disputes, will be appointed for five years and are to "protect the constitution and preserve it."
