President vetoes parliamentary resolution on withdrawing bills
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ On Monday, the President of Mongolia, Ts.Elbegdorj vetoed the 26th parliamentary resolution on withdrawing draft laws on criminal procedure, on law enforcement actions, on the prosecutorial organ, on performance of court decisions and on combating family violence.
This resolution was sent to the Presidential Office on August 31, 2016.
“The law on the parliamentary session rules has a clause pointing out certain reasons for withdrawing bills such as in case of a non-standard formulation or issuing bills and parliamentary decisions on certain matters is unnecessary. As for these bills, they are considered as adopted laws in accordance with the 24th article of the law on parliamentary session rules. Withdrawing these already approved bills under the parliamentary resolution violates the principle of respecting laws and might create a wrong practice shaking the continuity of the state. So, the President of Mongolia put a veto over whole clauses of the parliamentary resolution pursuant to the Constitution of Mongolia, the laws on the President of Mongolia and on the parliamentary session rules,” said Elbegdorj and urged the parliament to heed the veto.
