Abstract:
The Belgian Constitution lacks an explicit state of emergency clause, but that has never impeded the Belgian authorities to fight the emergencies that did occur. In the debate on whether the Belgian Constitution should be amended in order to insert a state of emergency clause, my position is that no amendment is required.
