Mass Media Legislation in Belarus

The Constitution of the Republic of Belarus guarantees the freedom of thought, belief and expression and prohibits the monopolisation of the media and censorship.

The Law “On Mass Media” formalises the basic principles of mass media’s activity: accuracy, equality, respect for human rights and freedoms, diversity of views; protection of morals; observance of the norms of journalist’s professional ethics.

The law is the basis for introducing the elements of self-regulation in the media field in Belarus. To this end, the Public Coordination Council on the Media was set up. It consists of representatives of mass media, journalism organisations and experts.
