On the draft international agreements

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko signed Decree No.375 to approve the draft protocols on amendments to the conventions on legal assistance and legal relations in civil, family and criminal cases of 22 January 1993 and 7 October 2002 as a basis for holding the relevant negotiations.

The draft protocols envisage enshrining provisions in the conventions to ensure the enforcement of court orders (definitions of court orders) on the collection of alimony for minor children in the CIS member states.

The Justice Ministry has been authorized to negotiate the draft protocols.

Amendments introduced by the draft protocols will ensure citizens with the right to get alimony payments in CIS countries.
