Jakarta Charter

EN Texto em inglês Ainda não há artigo no seu idioma: trecho em inglês.

The Jakarta Charter (Indonesian: Piagam Jakarta) was a document drawn up by members of the Indonesian Investigating Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence (BPUPK) on 22 June 1945 in Jakarta that later formed the basis of the preamble to the Constitution of Indonesia. The document contained the five principles of the Pancasila ideology, but it also included an obligation for Muslims to abide by Shariah law. This obligation, which was also known as the "Seven Words" (tujuh kata), was eventually deleted from the enacted constitution on 18 August 1945, a day after the Indonesian declaration of independence . Following the deletion of the "Seven Words" efforts by Islamic parties continued to seek its inclusion, most notably in the late 1950s, during the debates over a definitive constitution; in 1967-1968, during the Transition to the New Order; and from 2000-2002, following the end of the New Order and the beginning of the Reformasi era.
