1994 Constitution of Belarus
The 1994 Constitution of Belarus established the framework for the country's government, defining Belarus as a presidential republic. It grants significant powers to the president, who oversees the executive branch, while also creating legislative and judicial branches. The constitution affirms human rights, the rule of law, and sovereignty, but has been criticized for concentrating power in the presidency. It also sets out the structure of government institutions and the legal system, aiming to balance state authority with democratic principles. Overall, it functions as Belarus's fundamental law, guiding the nation's political and legal order.
