In future, Belgian victims of genocide will only be able to bring a case with the support of the federal prosecutor (a government appointee).

Country Info Belgium Introduction Belgium General Data Belgium Maps Belgium Culture ... Belgium Time and Date Belgium Government Back to Top Belgium is a hereditary constitutional monarchy. The current monarch is King Albert II, who took the oath of office on August 9, 1993. As titular head of state, the King plays a largely ceremonial and symbolic role in the nation. His primary political function is to designate a political leader to attempt to form a new cabinet following either an election, the resignation of a government, or a parliamentary vote of no confidence. The King is seen as playing a symbolic unifying role, representing a common national Belgian identity. The Belgian Parliament consists of a Senate and a Chamber of Representatives (also called the House). The Chamber of Representatives has 150 directly elected members. The Senate has 71 elected members. The executive branch of the government consists of ministers and secretaries of state (junior ministers) drawn from the political parties that form the government coalition. The number of ministers is limited to 15, and they have no seat in Parliament. The Cabinet is chaired by the Prime Minister and consists of the ministerial heads of the executive departments. The allocation of powers between the Parliament and the Cabinet is somewhat similar to the United Statesthe Parliament enacts legislation and appropriates fundsbut the Belgian Parliament does not have the same degree of independent power that the U.S. Congress has. Members of political parties represented in the government are expected to support all bills presented by the Cabinet.

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT ... BELGIUM Belgium is a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarch. Although the king (chief of state) is technically the source of all executive authority, the Council of Ministers (cabinet) actually makes all governmental decisions. The Council of Ministers, led by the prime minister (head of government), holds office as long as it retains the confidence of the parliament. Parliamentary elections are held at least every 4 years. There is universal suffrage, with obligatory voting and a complicated system of proportional representation. CURRENT GOVERNMENT King Albert II Prime Minister Verhofstadt, Guy Vice Prime Min.

Text-format Menu BELGIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM: Parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarch Executive Branch King (head of state), Prime Minister (head of government), Cabinet Description Regional and Communities Governments Federal Government Provinces Description Belgium is an hereditary constitutional monarchy. As titular head of state, the King plays a ceremonial and symbolic role in the nation. A main political function is to designate a political leader to attempt to form a new cabinet after an election or the resignation of a cabinet. In conditions where there is a "constructive vote of no-confidence," the government has to resign and the Lower House of Parliament proposes a new Prime Minister to the King. The King also is seen as playing a symbolic unifying role, representing a common national Belgian identity. The decision-making power in Belgium is no longer exclusively in the hands of the Federal Government and the Federal Parliament. Now, the management of the country falls to several partners, which exercise their competences independently in different fields. See: the Regional and Communities Governments The Belgian Parliament consists of a Senate and a House of Representatives (the Chamber). The House has 150 directly elected members. The Senate has 71 members. The executive branch of the government consists of ministers and secretaries of state (junior ministers) drawn from the political parties which form the government coalition. Formally, the ministers are appointed by the King. The number of ministers is limited to 15, and they have no seat in Parliament. The Cabinet is chaired by the Prime Minister. Ministers head executive departments of the government.
