The Belgian legal order contains no explicit general constitutional of legislative act that compels to state reasons for legislation. However, such an obligation does exist and is embodied in several categories of norms. This presentation will firstly focus on the main category, particularly human rights norms. Thereafter, the modalities of the obligation to state reasons for legislative acts will be discussed by means of an analysis of the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. This analysis will reveal some weaknesses. In order to remedy those weaknesses, this presentation will additionally suggest to incorporate the obligation to state reasons for legislative acts in Title II of the Constitution. Finally, the main findings will be resumed in a conclusion.
