The Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus (Belarusian: Міністэрства юстыцыі Рэспублікі Беларусь) is a Belarusian government agency that is charged with the administering and enforcing the justice system of Belarus.
Although a minister of justice existed as early as 1918, it was not until 1946 that The People's Commissariat of Justice of the BSSR was transformed into the Ministry of Justice of the BSSR. The ministry was abolished in 1960 and would not be reestablished until a decade later in 1970. The ministry has existed in some capacity since then.[1]
The ministry was criticized for the double standards to commercial and non-governmental organizations (including political parties).[2] As of 2020, there were 15 parties in Belarus. The last party was registered in 2000, and later the ministry denied to register new parties for different reasons.[3]Belarusian Christian Democracy made 7 attempts to register, Party of freedom and progress — 4 attempts; People's Hramada party was also prevented from registration.[3] The ministry justified all these cases by the reasons that are thought to be artificial and flimsy. For example, the ministry refused to register a local branch of BPF Party in Hrodna Region because of "incorrect line spacing" in the documents.[2][3] During another attempt to register this branch, the ministry requested the additional documents that are not mentioned in the law.[4] One of the refusals got by the Belarusian Christian Democracy cited lack of home or work phones information for some of the party founders.[3] Another refusal was based on a statement in the party's charter that its members should be "supporters of a Christian worldview".[5] According to the Centre for Legal Transformation, the ministry is also actively refusing to register non-governmental organizations.[4] In 2009, the ministry declared that the registration process was simplified, but the legal experts of political parties doubted this statement claiming that only insignificant issues were affected.[2] In 2012, the ministry started the procedure of suspension of an NGO citing the wrong capital letter on a stamp ("Dobraya Volya" instead of "Dobraya volya") as one of the reasons; the NGO was soon suspended.[5] In 2011 and 2013, the ministry refused to register LGBT organizations; therefore Belarus had no LGBT associations.[5]
The European Union and the United States imposed sanctions against current minister of justice Oleg Slizhevsky (Aleh Slizheuski). The United States named Slizhevsky as one of the orchestrators of fraudulent election,[6] the Council of the European Union stated that he's responsible for the misconduct of the 2020 presidential electoral process.[7]
