Due to great  interest from various organisations and individuals
abroad, The Constitutional Society in Iceland has obtained and published
an independent English translation of  The Constitutional Bill delivered
by The Constitutional Council 29 July 2011.

Please see the English translation of the The Constitutional Bill here

The Constitutional Society would also like to draw your attention to an
independent English translation of the extremely controversial decision
of the Supreme court of Iceland to invalidate the election to the
Constitutional Assembly held on 27 November 2010 and, also, an
independent translation of a newspaper article on the matter, written by
a mathematician and associate professor at the University of Iceland,
Reynir Axelsson.

Professor Axelsson’s article attracted by far the most widespread
attention of the numerous articles and editorials criticising the
decision of the Supreme Court. The easiest way to understand the dispute
is to begin by reading his article.

Please see professor Axelsson‘s article and the decision of the Supreme
court of Iceland here
