Why does the law have to be published in order to come into force?

The publication of the law is necessary for mass public awareness of the essence of the adopted document. Publication can be realized through printing in official newspapers, posting on the websites of governments and ministries, and announcements on television and radio channels. After the text of the adopted law is announced, it officially comes into force and any citizen must adhere to it. The rule known to all comes into force: “Ignorance of the law does not exempt from responsibility.” You can also read any legislative update in electronic codes, such as Consultant +.
