Note: The grounds for promulgation of this Emergency Decree are as follows: As the law on public administration in state of emergency has been in application for a long time, their provisions can no longer be used for expeditious rectification and termination of various forms of situations which affect the security of the State and cannot be used for rectification of the problems caused by public calamities and for rehabilitation of the lives of the people who have sustained damage therefrom. Furthermore, at present, there are problems relating to the security of the State, of which the severity is increasing to the point of being likely to affect the independence and territorial integrity and bring about unrest and disorder in the Country, in addition to causing danger and trouble to the public to the degree of preventing them from living their lives normally and peacefully, and which cannot be resolved by the usual forms of public administration. It is appropriate to designate special measures for the public administration during a state of emergency, in order to enable the State to maintain its security and safety and restore the rights and freedoms of all people to normalcy expeditiously. This is thus an event of emergency with urgent and unavoidable necessity to maintain the safety of the Country and the safety of the public and to avert public calamities. It is therefore necessary to enact this Emergency Decree.
