Transcription
Establishment
After the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, the Forum issued a proclamation stating the establishment of it as an issues-based organization. It was effectively a coalition where secular, leftist, and centrist organizations worked under the umbrella of the Forum, in addition to some independent politicians.[1]
Ideology
The Kuwait Democratic Forum is an Arab nationalist and Pan-Arabist organization,[2] which pursues a secular government. It claims to be working towards achieving full democracy and instilling respect for human rights and freedoms.[3] It advocates for women's political rights, electoral districting reform, and the decoupling of the Office of the Crown Prince and the Office of Prime Minister.[4] KDF is currently advocating:
- the reform of the electoral districting statute;
- the repeal of all freedom-constricting laws;
- the enactment of a pardoning bill for all political detainees in Kuwait;
- the amendment of the citizenship statute to enable judicial review over executive citizenship-stripping decisions;
- the call for a national convention addressing pertinent issues in Kuwait including economic, societal and political issues; and
- an elected government.[5]
Organizational structure
The Forum has a biennial assembly that elections the General Secretary, the Central Committee, and the organizational whip. The General Secretary appoints the secretariat that governs the organization's day-to-day operations. The Central Committee, composed of elected members and the General Secretary, develops strategies and tactics.
