The International Conference brought together heads and judges of constitutional review bodies from Europe, Asia and Africa, representatives of the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union, and renowned academic figures.
The discussion focused on issues related to the exercise of constitutional review in the context of geopolitical shocks, constitutional courts' responses to foreign policy challenges and sanctions, measures taken in the context of climate change, the development of science and technology, and the search for optimal constitutional and legal tools to promote a secure and just world order.
At the plenary session, Siarhei Sivets presented a report on the topic "The Development of Constitutional Justice in the Republic of Belarus at the Current Stage."
In his speech the Chairman of the Constitutional Court noted that the search for a formula for stability, independence, the protection of sovereignty, and the preservation of constitutional identity is a persistent trend in the modern progressive development of states.
“I am convinced that constitutional justice makes a significant and, in many ways, decisive contribution to these crucial social processes, serving as one of the stable institutional guarantees of the modern state. The activity of constitutional courts contributes to the establishment of a just world order, strict adherence to the principles and rules of international law, and, ultimately, to the evolutionary and secure development of sovereign and independent states,” Siarhei Sivets said.
During the plenary session the Judge of the Constitutional Court Pavel Gridyushko also made a presentation on the constitutional and legal foundations for ensuring digital security.
