When the actions of a president or other high official are unconstitutional, the people should have the right to resist. Zambians must exercise their sovereignty and call for comprehensive constitutional reform to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitution.
