Council of Europe

Belarus–Council of Europe relations refer to the diplomatic and cooperative engagements between the Republic of Belarus and the Council of Europe (CoE). Belarus has never been a full member of the Council of Europe, but it has participated in various CoE activities and signed several conventions. However, in March 2022, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Committee of Ministers suspended all cooperation with Belarusian authorities while continuing engagement with Belarusian civil society and democratic forces in exile. A delegation still participates in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe activities.
