Khomenko: law on Belarusian People’s Congress underlines historical justice, which has always been common among Slavs
It is possible now in Belarus to study the problematic issues of the state at all levels, bringing them up for public discussion and approve by the decision of the People’s Congress – as noted by Belarus’ Justice Minister Sergei Khomenko during his talk with ONT TV channel
A range of important regulatory documents were signed last week. Programme host Marat Markov asked whether it is possible to say that the Belarusian People’s Congress and civil society have been finally legalised while the algorithm of party building and elections has been updated and developed in Belarus, “Yes, we have legally enshrined this in our country’s Basic Law. In the development of this provision, a number of important documents were adopted: the Law on the Belarusian People’s Congress, the Law on the Fundamentals of Civil Society, and the Law on Political Parties and Public Associations,” Sergei Khomenko noted.
The head of the Justice Ministry separately spoke about the importance of the Law on the Belarusian People’s Congress, “This document underlines the historical justice that has always been common among the Slavs. All the most important and main issues were resolved in all strata of society and submitted for general discussion. This is exactly what the legal act is today. After all, the representation that is stipulated in this document originates from all our social strata. Top officials, and representatives of the legislative, executive and judicial authorities, as well as deputies of all levels, heads of regional executive committees, the Minsk City Executive Committee, and regional executive committees are represented there. That is, it is possible to study problematic issues at all levels, bringing them up for public discussion and approve them by decision of the Belarusian People’s Congress.”
Sergei Khomenko added that the Law on the Belarusian People’s Congress in the legislation of Belarus will be an example for many states that are fighting and defending their sovereignty and for those who assume that interaction between civil society and the state is the path of socio-economic development.
