| Abstract/Citation: | Regulates declaration of martial law. Martial law may be declared by Parliament or the Chairman of Parliament. In the latter case, the decision must subsequently be submitted to Parliament, and be approved by a two-thirds majority. Section 3 provides for public announcement of the decision. Section 5 specifies powers of military authorities under martial law. These include the right to use all measures considered necessary to ensure public order; evacuation of citizens from dangerous regions; and mobilisation of citizens for carrying out defence activities. Also provides for introduction of a special regime of departure of citizens from the territory of the state and of entrance of non-nationals. Section 7 establishes that, after declaration of martial law, citizens are obliged to carry identity documents when moving from one place to another. |
