When Muammar al-Gaddafi came to power in the Libyan Revolution, he promised to reinstate sharia law and abrogate imported laws which contradicted Islamic values.[9] Initially, however, Article 34 of the 1969 constitution stated that all old laws remained in effect, except for those which contravened the new constitution.[10] In 1973, Gaddafi suspended all legislation, and stated that sharia would be the law of the land.[11] The dual-court system was also abolished that year, replaced by a single court system which aimed to bring together Islamic and secular principles.[12]
