 MINSK, 23 December (BelTA) – The realization of genuine human rights in Belarus must be closely monitored. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko gave the relevant instructions as he appointed Dmitry Gora Belarus’ Prosecutor General on 23 December, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “The prosecution service is supposed to oversee the uniform and precise observation of laws in our country. You have to see it. We’ve trivialized the matter of human rights a bit. We are not to blame for it. But genuine human rights… You should make sure that all of it is implemented in Belarus. The right to work, to occupational earnings. Every person in Belarus has the right to justice.”

“This is why taking into account the life and our legislation, it is necessary to keep an eye on genuine rights of our Belarusians. And not only of Belarusians but also of the people, who come to Belarus. I’ve talked a lot about it from the point of view of migration,” the president stressed.

The head of state recalled his demand to make sure that the migrants that come to Belarus must enjoy the same rights that Belarusian citizens have: “After all, this is what they have come for. And the most important thing for them (they don’t demand much) is to be given jobs. But we are ready to supply them with everything.”

Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed that it is a matter of justice. “Both for Belarusians and for them,” he said.

“This is why human rights, genuine human rights must be overserved. And you should keep an eye on it,” the Belarusian leader instructed.
