The instrument promulgating the Kuwaiti Constitution reveals the high degree of concern which the Constitution shows for the question of human rights by clearly stating: "This Constitution has been promulgated in order to consummate the means of democratic government in the State of Kuwait with a view to ensuring a better future in which the country will enjoy greater prosperity and higher international standing and in which its citizens will benefit from more political freedom, equality and social justice; a future that will consolidate the traditions inherent in Arab society by enhancing the feeling of pride in the dignity of the individual, safeguarding the public interest and applying consultative government while maintaining the unity and stability of the country. "
La grande attention portée aux droits de l'homme dans la Constitution est soulignée dans le texte de promulgation de cet instrument où il est dit que la Constitution vise à parfaire les fondements de la démocratie au Koweït afin d'assurer au pays un avenir meilleur dans un climat de plus grande prospérité et de plus grand prestige au plan international, tout en renforçant les libertés politiques, l'égalité et la justice sociale au profit des citoyens.
