Belarus celebrates Constitution Day

Belarus celebrates Constitution Day. The country's Main Law was adopted 27 years ago. On its basis, a system of legislation is formed – the competencies of state bodies are determined. A person, his or her rights, freedoms and guarantees are proclaimed the highest value of the state. The President acts as the guarantor of the Constitution, as well as the rights and freedoms. Today all over the country solemn ceremony of presenting passports to young Belarusians will take place.

President Alexander Lukashenko has extended his greetings to the Belarusians

"The basic law, adopted at the turn of the century, secured the historic right of the Belarusian people to live in a sovereign country, to develop a free and fair society, in which the state guarantees social protection and equal opportunities for every person and every family.

By strictly observing the constitutional norms, we cultivate in young citizens a respectful attitude to the legal traditions, responsibility for the future of their state, and ensure the continuity of generations. The constitutional provisions that reflect the people's desire for unity, social harmony and mutual understanding will be the main guide for Belarusians in achieving their goals in the Year of People's Unity," the message of the greetings reads.
