PERDOMO, Rogelio Pérez  e  BOLIVAR-MENDEZ, Estefanía. A new constitution in Venezuela? The National Constituent Assembly 2017-2020 and the Anti-Blockade Law. Novum Jus [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.2, pp.193-218.  Epub 22-Nov-2023. ISSN 1692-6013.  https://doi.org/10.14718/novumjus.2023.172.8.

In the first section of this study, we will analyze the political circumstances that led President Maduro to convene the National Constituent Assembly in Venezuela and make conjectures as to why it did not produce the draft constitution that could be expected of it. Instead, it produced the Constitutional Anti-Blockade Law for National Development and the Guarantee of Human Rights, which we will analyze in its content and relationship to the 1999 constitution under which the Constituent Assembly was convened, which is the subject of the second section. In the concluding section, we will discuss whether this is a reform of the constitution, a new constitution, or whether it is merely a temporary suspension of the 1999 constitution without replacing its rules.

Palavras-chave : National Constituent Assembly; Anti-Blockade Law; new constitution in Venezuela; inconstitutionality.
