Article 3a
 

With an international treaty ratified by the National Assembly with a two-thirds majority of all deputies, Slovenia can transfer the exercise of sovereign rights to international organizations based on respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, democracy and the principles of the rule of law, and enter into a defense alliance with the countries , which are based on respect for these values.


Before the ratification of the international agreement from the previous paragraph, the National Assembly can call a referendum. The proposal is accepted at the referendum if the majority of voters who have validly voted vote for it. The National Assembly is bound by the outcome of the referendum. If the referendum was held, it is not admissible to call a referendum regarding the law on the ratification of such an international treaty.


Legal acts and decisions adopted within the framework of international organizations to which Slovenia delegates the exercise of part of its sovereign rights are used in Slovenia in accordance with the legal regulations of these organizations.


In the procedures for adopting legal acts and decisions in international organizations to which Slovenia delegates the exercise of part of its sovereign rights, the government continuously informs the National Assembly about proposals for such acts and decisions and about its activities. The National Assembly can adopt positions on this, and the government takes them into account in its activities. The relations between the National Assembly and the government referred to in this paragraph are regulated in more detail by the law, which is adopted with a two-thirds majority of the votes of the deputies present.
