Politics
Ulaanbaatar, January 13, 2026 /MONTSAME/. On January 12, 2026, Chairman of the State Great Khural Uchral Nyam-Osor presented the Constitution printed in Mongolian Braille and handed over copies to representatives of the Mongolian National Federation of the Blind and the Mongolian Libraries Consortium.
In his opening remarks, the Chairman of the State Great Khural cited data from the National Statistics Office indicating that, as of 2024, Mongolia has more than 11,500 citizens with visual impairments. He expressed confidence that the publication would enable readers to acquire legal knowledge from the Constitution, gain an understanding of the system of governance and the distribution of rights and responsibilities, protect their own rights and freedoms as well as those of others, and develop the knowledge and skills necessary to uphold and comply with the law.
He also noted that the sign language and audio versions of the Constitution, published last year on the State Great Khural’s official website, parliament.mn, each recorded more than 600,000 views. The Braille-printed Constitution produced at the Braille Printing Center of the Mongolian National Federation of the Blind will be distributed through the National Library of Mongolia, libraries in 21 aimags and nine districts, other libraries, and the Legal Awareness Center.
President of the Mongolian National Federation of the Blind, Delgermaa Ch., said, “Today, we can read in Braille the fundamental principles of the democratic Constitution—human rights, compassion, and justice. This is a significant event in ensuring the right to access information for more than 11,500 people with visual impairments, as well as a similar number of citizens with hearing impairments. Our federation regards this as a historic milestone that not only guarantees access to information for persons with disabilities but also enables everyone to exercise their fundamental rights.” She called on the State, the public, and all citizens to support this initiative and to continue multifaceted awareness-raising activities to fully ensure the rights of persons with disabilities and the fundamental rights of all.
The Braille Constitution, published by the State Great Khural in cooperation with professional organizations and associations, is notable for incorporating all amendments and revisions adopted since 2019.
