Illegal state

Abstract

The article gives assessments of certain regulatory legal acts that allow the Republic of Belarus to be called an illegal state. The sociological approach and the formal-legal method showed that at present the split of Belarusian society is obvious. In particular, the polarization of society manifested itself after the presidential elections in 2020. At the same time, the legal acts adopted by the state continue to divide Belarusians into «their» and «strangers». Divide and rule – this can only be done by an illegal state. It is noted that in this regard, the wrong state is constantly in search of enemies (internal and external), while forgetting about the person and his rights. It is concluded that an illegal state takes away a person's rights and freedoms, punishes its citizens for exercising rights and obligations, and also trades rights and labels a person who humiliates his honor and dignity. As a result, a statement is formed that the rule of law is established and controlled by none other than civil society. In such a state, man and his rights are the end, not the means, to achieve ends.
