Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ An advisor to the President on human rights and legal policy Ch.Onorbayar submitted to the Speaker of parliament Z.Enkhbold, a draft new wording of the law on political party.

The new version of the law has been formulated with an aim to resolve many problems in the governing actions due to poor role and legal environment for political parties and the political system, Ch.Onorbayar said.

Adopted in 1990, the law on political parties made a first step for forming legal fundamentals of political parties, and it was amended in 2005, becoming the law on political party. Although the law reflected some progressive regulations, it does not have clauses about the structure, functions, transparency of political parties, rights and duties of party members as well as internal democracy of parties.

The new version of the law has 53 articles in nine chapters and it changes the current regulation in financing of political parties from the state budget, and added new methods of financing. Some limitations put over the financing methods.

By improving the legal environment for political parties, the law is projected to bring the formation of political parties into a new level and to strengthen the parliamentary democracy. It will reduce possibility of political crisis and will improve the national security’s guarantee and formation of democratic statehood, the draft initiator said.
