[1] The Rada of BNR, which received its powers from the Belarusian People at the All-Belarusian Congress, announced in its letters of March 9 and 25, 1918, that all power in the Belarusian land would pass into the hands of the people.
The land, forests and natural resources of the region have been declared a popular opinion.
Following this, the Council began to build an independent Belarusian state on the basis established by the Charter of March 25 this year.
The German occupation suspended this work and made it impossible to transfer power to the people and resolve the land issue on a fair basis.
The Belarusian Government will first of all strive to ensure that our people establish true freedom for all its citizens as soon as possible.
