Shaping a New Belarus: Pathways towards Democracy and European Integration
Belarus´ democratic forces have been developing since 2019 a 'Draft Constitution for a New Belarus'. Leading European constitutional and human rights lawyers from "old" and "new(er)" democracies contributed to this process. The present book contains their comments and suggestions on how to develop the Belarus Constitution in order to reflect today´s European standards for democratic constitutions, as in particular set by the Council of Europe and its 'Venice Commission'.
In addition to the contributions on core elements of a democratic constitution the volume also provides the text of the 'Draft Constitution for a New Belarus'. The text of the draft constitution as well as all contributions are published in English and Russian. The present volume thus constitutes a handbook for constitutional change in Belarus once the situation exists for the transition of the country to a liberal European democracy.
