As a long-term strategy, national legislatures should aim at reforming the electoral laws towards PR systems. Swaziland, for instance, is noted as one case of limited compliance with the constitution, the SADC protocol of gender and development and the AU protocol of womens rights, as well as the Commonwealth Charter. In countries outside of the SADC region where gender parity (50:50) has not been articulated as a principle, this should be given priority.
