At the opening of the International Academic Conference, Chairman of the State Great Khural Amarbayasgalan delivered a speech, stating, “Chimid Byaraa, who started his career as a herder, a literacy teacher, and a bagh leader, and later, in his early thirties, obtained a law degree from the National University of Mongolia, served as a law professor, Minister of Justice, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Chief Arbitrator. His ideology and teachings, combined with both theory and practice, were shaped by his diverse career. The laws he contributed to, advised on, and helped pass are still known as the “Chimid’s Laws” to this day, demonstrating the enduring lifespan of laws formulated by a true professional’s diligent work.  The hard work and dedication of the Founder of the Democratic Constitution, his thoughtful and principled approach to legal matters, his resilience in the face of unsubstantiated criticism, and his ability to stay focused on the main issues at hand can be seen in his works. The Working Group on the Draft Constitution played a pivotal role in introducing and promoting the right solutions for the draft work, performing comparative studies and analysis of the proposals as well as evaluating their coherence and fairness. Chimid Byaraa coordinated these works, providing expert guidance and steering the project in the right direction, and completed the task of submitting the final version of the Draft Constitution with great honor.”  

President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, Prime Minister of Mongolia Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Ganzorig Damdin sent messages extending greetings to the Conference. Chimid Byaraa’s daughter, Sainsanaa Chimid, conducts legal research, analysis, and various activities in the field of law to continue and perpetuate her father’s legacy, one of which is this international academic conference organized by the “Chimid Foundation.”
