2019 Mongolian constitutional crisis

The 2019 Mongolian constitutional crisis refers to legislation that has been criticized as threatening Mongolia's democracy by undermining its constitutional separation of powers. Though there is no consensus on the exact date the crisis began, many point to 27 March 2019, when the Mongolian Parliament adopted an unprecedented law empowering the National Security Council of Mongolia to recommend the dismissal of judges, prosecutors, and the head of the Anti-Corruption Agency.^[1] Proposed by President Khaltmaagiin Battulga, the law was ratified by a majority of the ruling Mongolian People's Party.
