November 11, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Belarusian government has dissolved at least 2,090 NGOs, including associations, trade unions and foundations, between the 2020 presidential election and October 31, 2026, Lawtrend said in a recent report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of last month, at least 1,272 NGOs were in the process of dissolution ordered by authorities, and 818 had filed for dissolution on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, Lawtrend discovered that three foundations and one more NGO had been dissolved earlier. Seven more NGOs initiated their own dissolution.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the government\u2019s register of legal entities and sole entrepreneurs, 25 NGOs were registered in Belarus between January and October 2026, mostly sports organizations and animal protection groups. No foundations appear to have been registered this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of October, the justice ministry, for the first time in several years, published its first update on the number of registered foundations. In particular, Belarus has 105 foundations, including 61 charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 99 NGOs were shut down in 2025, 382 in 2024 and 336 in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
