The Constitutional Court decides in respect of prohibition of a political party, trade union, citizens association or a religious community. Proceedings are instituted on a proposal of the Government, Republic Public Prosecutor or the body in charge of making entries in the register of political parties, trade union organisations, citizens associations, or religious communities. The proposal must contain the reasons and evidence due to which the prohibition is requested.
The Constitutional Court may prohibit the work only of that political party, trade union or citizens association the activity of which is aimed at the destruction of constitutional order, violation of the guaranteed human and minority rights or enticement of racial, ethnic or religious hatred, while a religious community may be prohibited only if its activity violates the right to life, the right to mental, emotional and physical health, children's rights, the right to personal and family integrity, the right to property, public safety and public order, or if it incites religious, ethnic or racial intolerance.
Political parties, trade unions, citizens associations or religious communities whose work has been banned by the Constitutional Court are erased from the corresponding register on the date the Constitutional Court's decision is served to the competent body.
