Dear visitors to the Internet Portal of the President of the Republic of Belarus,

Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus No. 609 of 16 December 2002 “On the National Legal Internet Portal of the Republic of Belarus and the Introduction of Amendments and Additions to the Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus No. 524 of 30 October 1998” sets up the National Legal Internet Portal of the Republic of Belarus.

The President of the Republic of Belarus has determined that the Legal Internet Portal is to be the basic public information resource in the worldwide Internet for Belarus laws and legal information.

Basically, the National Legal Internet Portal of the Republic of Belarus contains legal information (the texts of the enforceable enactments of the Republic of Belarus). The Portal also contains scientific and practical, instructional, reference and other information related to the legal informatization field.

For this reason, in searching for the information regarding Belarus legislation, you are recommended to apply to the Belarus Legislation Databank provided on the below-indicated legal information site. The texts of the enforceable enactments contained in the Legislation Databank are based upon the current wording, i.e. with all the amendments and additions that have entered into force.

Please note that the ordinances, decrees, and executive orders of the President of the Republic of Belarus contained in the sections “Official Documents” and “Document Archives” of the Presidential Internet Portal are published there on a selective basis and without inserting any subsequent eventual amendments and additions.
