On March 10, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko signed Decree No. 103, which approved as a basis for negotiations the draft agreement between Belarus and Russia on measures for the mutual protection of citizens from unfounded prosecution by foreign states and international justice bodies. BELTA was informed about this by the press service of the Belarusian leader.

The subject of this international treaty is the protection of citizens, including current or former officials, from unfounded prosecution by third parties, taking into account the trend towards the politicization of international judicial bodies and other international criminal justice mechanisms.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been authorized to conduct negotiations on the draft agreement.
