Chisinau, 3 May /MOLDPRES/- Magistrates of the Constitutional Court (CC) have ruled on the Article No 11 of the Constitution (permanent neutrality).
The notification concerning the interpretation of the article 11 of the Constitution was submitted in 2014 by a group of Liberal MPs.
Under the decision, the deployment on the territory of Moldova of any troops or military bases, directed and controlled by foreign states, is unconstitutional.
The decision also reads that military occupation of a part of the territory of Moldova when declared neutrality, as well as the lack of recognition of the international guarantees of this statute, do not affect the validity of the constitutional provision regarding neutrality, and in case of threats to such fundamental constitutional values, as national independence, territorial integrity or state security, Moldovan authorities are obliged to take all necessary measures, including military ones, which would allow them to effectively defend themselves against them.
According to the court’s ruling, Moldova’s participation in collective security systems, such as the United Nations security system, peacekeeping operations, humanitarian operations, is not in contradiction with the status of neutrality.
The CC’s decision is final and cannot be subject to any appeal.
