The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) has carefully followed the recent developments in the Swaziland Supreme Court. In its judgment in the appeal case of National Constitutional Assembly v. Prime Minister and Others decided on 21 May 2009, Swaziland's highest court ruled that the Tinkhundla-based electoral system - which excludes political parties from the electoral process - did not constitute a violation of freedom of association as guaranteed by article 25 of the Swaziland constitution.
