# The Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 2011, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order establishes a new Constitution of the Turks and Caicos Islands. The new Constitution sets out a catalogue of fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual and provisions for their enforcement. It provides for a Governor as Her Majesty’s representative in the Islands, for a House of Assembly composed of elected and appointed members and the Attorney General, for a Cabinet and for Ministers appointed from among the elected or appointed members of the House. It also provides for the judiciary, the public service, and a number of institutions protecting good governance, notably an Integrity Commission, a Human Rights Commission, an Auditor General and a Director of Public Prosecutions. Provision is also made regarding Crown land and for public financial management, including the independent audit of public accounts.
The Order revokes the Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 2006, as well as two Orders in Council of 2009 and 2010 that modified and supplemented it, which together form the present Constitution of the Islands.
