    After a long consultation process, the Kingdom of Bhutan finally adopted its very first constitution on 18 July 2008 (1). Heralded with great fanfare in the country itself as a modern, forward looking accomplishment set to help propel Bhutan towards a democratic society (2), the Constitution of the Kingdom of Bhutan is – from the point of view of international human rights law – a deeply disturbing document

    I briefly review the experimental observations concerning the charmed mesons DsJ∗(2317)D_{sJ}^*(2317), DsJ(2460)D_{sJ}(2460) and survey on some of the interpretations proposed in order to understand their nature. I present an analysis of their decay modes in the hypothesis that they can be identified with the scalar and axial vector sℓP=12+s_\ell^P={1 \over 2}^+ states of csˉc{\bar s} spectrum (Ds0∗D_{s0}^*, Ds1′D_{s1}^\prime). The method is based on heavy quark symmetries and Vector Meson Dominance ansatz. Comparison with present data supports the interpretation.Comment: LaTex, 10 pages.
