The parliamentarians also discussed the President’s Decree "On the protection of sovereignty and constitutional order". All powers are transferred to the Security Council, whose meetings are chaired by the Prime Minister, in case of the death of the Head of State as a result of an assassination attempt, act of terrorism, external aggression, or other violent actions. At the same time, a state of emergency or martial law is immediately introduced in the territory of the country, and the collegial body determines a list of measures to ensure them.
The events that our country faced in the past year made us appreciate the familiar concepts of independence, tranquility and security in a completely new way.
That is why, the Decree is aimed at preserving the independence and sovereignty of Belarus.
