Political Affairs Committee calls for Council of Europe Summit
- 06/09/2017
- Political Affairs and Democracy
| Michele Nicoletti |
The Political
Affairs Committee today unanimously called for a Council of Europe
Summit "to preserve and further strengthen the unique Pan-European
project, currently threatened by divisions and a weakening of member
States' commitment."
It stressed that the Council of Europe,
as the only Pan-European Organisation capable of promoting and
guaranteeing democratic security throughout the continent, was best
placed to help overcome the challenges raised by growing nationalism and
avoid the building of new walls.
"Member States should clearly express their willingness to continue to be part of a single community, sharing common values, a common legal order and a common jurisdiction, and capable of capitalising on internal differences", the committee stressed in its draft resolution based on a report by Michele Nicoletti (Italy, SOC).
The committee also said that it
regretted the announcement by the Russian Federation to suspend the
payment of its contribution to the Council of Europe budget for 2017
until the full and unconditional restoration of the credentials of its
PACE delegation.
Noting the current inconsistency in the composition of
the two statutory organs, the Political Affairs Committee considered the
overall situation within the Organisation as counterproductive as it
aversely affected the overall impact of the Council of Europe as
guardian of human rights and democracy throughout the continent.
It therefore suggested that as part of
the preparatory work for the Summit, the Assembly initiates a procedure
aimed at harmonising, jointly with the Committee of Ministers - within
an ad hoc working group of the the Joint Committee - the rules governing
participation and representation of members States in both statutory
organs.
In a separate draft recommendation, it
asks the Committee of Ministers to closely associate the Assembly in the
preparation of the Summit.
