 The Monarch wields the prerogative to enact royal decrees which are not contrary to the law.

In the event of emergency where it is urgently necessary to maintain national order or security, or public safety, or economic security of the Country, or to avert a public disaster, or when it is necessary to have a law relating to taxation or currency which requires urgent and secret consideration in order to maintain the benefits of the State, the Prime Minister, with the approval of the National Peacekeeping Assembly, may notify the Monarch to enact an emergency decree to be applied as an act.

Upon promulgation of an emergency decree, the Cabinet shall introduce the emergency decree to the National Legislative Assembly without delay.

Approval or disapproval of an emergency decree shall be published in the Royal Gazette. In the event of disapproval, it shall take effect from the day of its publication in the Royal Gazette.
