On the Constitution Day, a specialized commission was set up to amend the Basic Law. The decision to create it was made at the All-Belarusian People's Assembly. For 27 years under the current law, we have passed a long way in the formation of a sovereign state. This period has become a symbol of a free, peaceful and stable life without shocks. But the development of society, the world economy and global challenges require new approaches. Therefore, the time has come to update the Constitution of Belarus. Its co-authors will be deputies, representatives of government agencies, public associations, various sectors of the economy, social sphere, culture and sports. By the way, every Belarusian has an opportunity to make his own proposals. The work of the commission will be open.
During the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, the Belarusians learned that this year the country will begin to amend the Basic Law. This is already a logical necessity. The new era has brought many risks. The Assembly immediately decided to form a profile commission. And today, it held its first meeting.
Recently, the Constitution has been amended by many states, including our neighbors, partners in integration associations. Amendments to the Basic Law were adopted in Russia a year ago. A referendum will be held in Kyrgyzstan in April. In Armenia, they also stated that they are ready for changes. The events of last year in our country showed that we also need them.
They support the preservation of the presidential republic, the development of friendly ties with Russia, and integration processes.
The updated Constitution in Belarus is in the interests of everyone. In While adopting a new draft of the Constitution, Belarusians will be aware of all the proposals that the commission will form, and they themselves will also be able to become co-authors.

Updated law: not reform, but evolution
Unlike the radical break with traditions proposed by the opposition who fled the country, the updated Constitution in Belarus is not about reforms, but about evolution.
August for the commission is defined as a kind of deadline. By this time, she should organize all the proposals. So the Belarusians have plenty of time.
As a result, all the adjustments will be submitted for national discussion and only then for a referendum. The dialogue started by the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, will be continued. Judging by their activity, even once apolitical people are already offended when they are reminded of indifference. For example, the organizing committee of received 17 thousand proposals regarding the development of the country.
