Mongolia Marks Constitution’s 34th Anniversary With Rights Outreach, Resilience Push and Local Actions

The anniversary doubles as a platform for new measures spanning accessibility, child rights, disaster readiness.

Overview

  • Speaker N. Uchral led commemorations honoring former parliamentary leaders and constitution framers as Parliament opened an exhibition showing original archival materials on the 1992 charter and state symbols.
  • Parliament expanded public access to the charter by publishing a Mongolian Braille edition and promoting an audio version, while the Speaker set 2026 legislative priorities around strengthening protections for children.
  • A Constitutional Court decision from late November finding criminal provisions on “spreading false information” inconsistent with the charter is driving follow‑up work on freedom‑of‑expression safeguards.
  • The Deputy Prime Minister said a Parliament‑ratified $100 million Asian Development Bank program is advancing to bolster disaster resilience through added search‑and‑rescue equipment and local preparedness.
  • The weather service warned of strong winds and snow in western provinces today and forecast an intense cold snap from January 14–18 with lows near –40 to –45°C, as authorities advance Ulaanbaatar’s 2026 drainage and flood‑protection works and the Prime Minister engaged Dornogovi residents on corruption and service gaps.
