Bill on permanent neutrality status submitted
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ An advisor to the President on human rights and legal policy Ch.Onorbayar Tuesday submitted to the Speaker Z.Enkhbold a draft law on maintaining the permanent status of neutrality.
The bill with 11 clauses in three articles is supposed to contribute to the improvement of the legal basis for ensuring the national security, foreign and defense policies. “Maintaining the status of neutrality will not change the foreign policy of Mongolia but will become a basis for keeping balanced ties with other nations. The bill is fully accorded with the Constitution of Mongolia, the Concept of National Security, the Concept of Foreign Policy, the Fundamentals of Military Policy and other related laws,” Onorbayar said.
In conjunction with this bill, a draft resolution of parliament has been formulated to amend the Concept of National Security and the Concept of Foreign Policy. In addition, Mongolia is expected to need to join the 1907 Hague Conventions relative to the Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers and Persons in case of War on Land as well concerning the Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers in Naval War.
