Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Mongolia (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee notes with satisfaction that article 16(10) of the new Constitution which entered into force on 12 February 1992, consecrates the right of citizens to associate on a voluntary basis in order to defend their interests and that the provision of the old Constitution (article 82) respecting the leading and directing role of the Revolutionary Party of Mongolia in society does not appear in the Constitution of 1992.

Furthermore, the Committee notes with interest that according to the Government's report, a system of political pluralism has been established in Mongolia since March 1990 and an Act on political parties was adopted in May 1990 which confers equal rights and obligations on all the political parties in the country, and that the Trade Union Rights Act of 1 July 1991 has introduced the possibility of trade union pluralism and forbids the interference of political parties in trade union activities.
