6.25.7.1.Article 359-Suspension of FRs during the proclamation of national emergency

Except rights given under Article 19, whose enforcement is automatically suspended with the proclamation of national emergency on grounds of external aggression or war; the suspension of other rights doesn’t happen automatically.

Rights under Article 20 and 21 are never suspended. Rest of the rights can be suspended only when the President issues an order to suspend a right. In his order, the President has to specify which rights, for what period and for what geographical limits.
