More about Benin

Politics

According to the constitution adopted by referendum on December 2, 1990 (modified several times), Benin is a presidential republic. The head of state, head of government and commander-in-chief of the armed forces is the president with extensive powers (directly elected for 5 years, re-election possible once). The legislature lies with the National Assembly (Assemblée nationale), whose 83 members are elected for 4 years. The Economic and Social Council (30 members) has an advisory role. The constitution fixes fundamental rights and freedoms, a multi-party system and the separation of powers.

National symbols

The national flag in the African colors has a green, vertical stripe on the leech, the flying end is horizontally divided into yellow over red.

The fourth coat of arms (from December 9, 1964) shows the Somba Castle, the black star of Benin (an order donated by King Toffa [* 1874, † 1908] of Porto Novo in 1892), a green palm (symbol of palm oil wealth) and a Ship (reference to colonization). The upper coat of arms consists of two horns of plenty, shield holders are two leopards. The motto on the banner below is: »Fraternité, Justice, Travail« (brotherhood, justice, work).

The national holiday on August 1st commemorates the gaining of independence in 1960.

Parties

The most influential parties and alliances are Force Cauri pour un Bénin Émergent (FCBE; founded as a multi-party alliance in 2007, party formation in 2008; anchored in the north and center of the country) and L’Union fait la Nation (UN; multi-party alliance, founded in 2009; in the south anchored in the country, including Parti du Renouveau Démocratique [PRD] and Parti de la Renaissance du Bénin [RB]).

The paramilitary forces (gendarmerie) comprise 2,500 men.

Administration

Benin is divided into 12 departments with a total of 77 municipalities. At the head of the municipalities, which have the status of regional authorities, there is an elected municipal council, who elects the mayor.

Law

The basis of the court structure are the courts of first instance, with extensive responsibility for civil, criminal, commercial, labor and social matters, for modern law and for customary law.

Outside the system, the Constitutional Court, which has existed since 1993, stands for disputes between government organs and between citizens and the state or state organs and institutions due to constitutional violations; it can annul laws. In 1998, labor law was newly codified in substantive law, and the Personal and Family Code came into force in 2004.
