Effects of State of Emergency

During a State of Emergency, the government may suspend certain fundamental rights, deploy the army for internal security, and issue emergency ordinances. Parliament must ratify within 30 days.

When an emergency is declared, the government gets extraordinary powers: it can suspend freedom of movement, assembly, and privacy rights (but NOT the right to life, right against torture, or right to habeas corpus — these can NEVER be suspended). The army can be deployed internally and emergency laws issued without Parliament. BUT Parliament must ratify within 30 days by two-thirds vote, and the emergency cannot last more than 3 months without re-approval.
