Overall, the Preliminary Opinion assesses the Law on Political Parties of Mongolia rather positively, noting that it provides a comprehensive framework for regulating political parties and their financing, covering membership, registration, dissolution, funding, reporting, and oversight. In particular, the Opinion welcomes the Law’s efforts to address past recommendations, including simplifying to some extent party registration, easing restrictions on party activities, and ensuring a fairer allocation of public funding. However, the Opinion notes that some areas require improvement to better uphold freedom of association and strengthen political party financing regulations. These include: revisiting provisions on eligibility for party membership and on registration, granting more autonomy to parties in their internal organization and decision-making, more strictly circumscribing the rules on dissolution, reviewing financing rules and mechanisms, and reporting requirements. The Opinion also recommends to reconsider restrictions on foreign nationals and stateless persons joining political parties and promote a more equitable distribution of public funding. Strengthening internal party democracy while balancing external regulations and internal autonomy is also recommended. Lastly, the Opinion also provides concrete recommendations to further integrate gender and diversity considerations into public funding mechanisms and to encourage broader political participation among women, youth, and persons with disabilities.
