Декларация
на Парламентарната Асамблея на Съвета на Европа
Заседанието на
Парламентарната Асамблея в София днес,
препотвърди целта на отците - основатели
на Съвета на Европа, които като следствие
от ужасите на Втората Световна война,
създадоха тази организация с
предназначението да “постигне по-голямо
единство между своите членове” за да
се запазят и реализират “идеалите и
принципите, които са тяхното общо
наследство”.
Както е посочено
изрично в чл.3 от Статута на Организацията,
нейните членове, трябва да сътрудничат
искрено и ефективно за реализацията
точно на тази цел.
Като чества
40-тата годишнина на Заключителния
документ от Хелзинки, Асамблеята желае
да подчертае важната роля, която изигра
неговото подписване, довело до края на
Студената война.
Тя приема този документ
като пример за това, какво е възможно
да се постигне, когато страните съгласувано
положат усилия да оставят настрана
своите различия и да се стремят към
разбирателство.
Асамблеята е
искрено убедена, че многобройните
политически предизвикателства, с които
Европа се сблъсква днес, както вътрешни,
така и извън нейните границите изискват
общ отговор на базата на споделните
принципи и ценности, диалог, доверие и
солидарност.
В тези критични
моменти, страните-членки на Съвета на
Европа, трябва да се сплотят около това,
което ги обединява, отколкото това,
което ги разделя и да предотвратят
издигането на нови стени и очертаването
на разделителни линии.
За тази цел и
признавайки ключовата роля, която
Съветът на Европа може да играе защитавайки
и подпомагайки демократичната сигурност,
Асамблеята призовава за Среща на
държавните глави и ръководителите на
правителства, на която страните да
препотвърдят на най-високо политическо
ниво, своите ангажименти спрямо общите
ценности и принципи на демокрацията,
човешките права и върховенството на
закона, защитавани от Организацията.

Declaration of 27 November 2015 adopted by the Standing Committee of
the Parliamentary Assembly
Political Affairs Committee backs proposal for fourth Council of Europe Summit
- 06/03/2017
- Political Affairs and Democracy
The Political
Affairs Committee today backed the proposal for a fourth Council of
Europe Summit.
On the basis of a memorandum prepared by Michele
Nicoletti (Italy, SOC), it stressed that such a Summit should primarily
aim at re-launching the Council of Europe's core mission: a pan-European
organisation, offering a common legal space to 820 million Europeans
and thus capable of promoting democratic security throughout the
continent.
"We must make sure to avoid a
paternalistic approach and treat all member States of the Organisation
equally and in mutual respect, whether they are small or big, whether
they are old member or have joined more recently.
At the same time, it
is important to focus on what unites us rather what divides us," Mr
Nicoletti stressed.
The committee agreed that in a Europe
which has profoundly changed since the last Summit, held in Warsaw in
2005, and when the whole world seems to be changing, a Summit would
offer the unique opportunity to member States to reaffirm, at the
highest political level, their commitment to the common values and
principles of democracy, the rule of law and human rights, upheld by the
Organisation, as enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights.
Michele Nicoletti is due to present his
report “Call for a Council of Europe Summit to defend and promote
democratic security in Europe” at the PACE plenary session in October
2017.

Неофициален превод!
Парламентарната Асамблея,
Вземайки предвид своята Софийска Декларация от 27 ноември 2015г. и подкрепата от видни европейски лидери за призива за свикване на Четвърта среща на Съвета на Европа на най-високо ниво ;
Препотвърждавайки своята позиция изразена в Препоръка 1567/2002 за парламентарен контрол върху международните институции, целяща да направи европейските институции по-отговорни, така че гражданите на Европа да ги възприемат като свои собствени представители;
Проследявайки с интерес дебатите за бъдещето на Европейския съюз инициирани от Президента на Европейската Комисия и идеите на европейските лидери по същата тема;
Подчертавайки, че независимо от разликата в членството на Съвета на Европа и на Европейския съюз и двете организации са посветили своите дейности да защитават еднакви ценности и по-специално на изграждането на Обединена Европа на основата на демокрацията, правата на човека и върховенството на закона, като зона с граници между националните държави, но без разделителни линии;
Подчертавайки, че Съветът на Европа е уникален форум, където страните-членки на ЕС и европейските страни, които не членуват в ЕС са в диалог и сътрудничество основани на общи ценности и принципи;
Призовава Комитета на Министрите да организира заедно с ПАСЕ и с Европейския Парламент дискусия относно бъдещето на Европа и ролята на Съвета на Европа в рамките на Европейската политическа архитектура, която да се проведе преди Четвъртата среща на най-високо равнище.

Some reminiscences about the debates on the Reform of PACE in 2011, when the principle of equality between the members of the Assembly and between the member-states of the Council of Europe was successfully defended!
THE PRESIDENT –
The next item of business this afternoon is the debate on the report titled
“Reform of the Parliamentary Assembly” (Doc.
12627), presented by Mr Mignon on behalf of the Ad hoc Committee on the
Reform of the Parliamentary Assembly.
I am certain
that nobody could oppose their nomination by those groups.
THE PRESIDENT – Thank you. The next speaker is Ms
Guţu.
(…)
THE PRESIDENT – We now come to Amendment 4, tabled by
Mr Toshev, Mr Dimitrov, Mr Minchev, Ms Grozdanova, Mr Vareikis, Ms
Pernaska, Mr Matušic, Ms Caparin and Mr Falzon, which is, in the draft
resolution, after paragraph 5.4.2, to insert the following sub-paragraph:
“to grant the
committees of the Assembly, except the Committee on the Honouring of
Obligations and Commitments by Member States and the Committee on Rules of
Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs, an annual ticket to organize a
joint meeting with the relevant committees in the national parliaments of the
member states.”
I call Mr Toshev to support Amendment 4.
Mr TOSHEV (Bulgaria)
– The amendment speaks for itself. We are dealing with the same issues and such
meetings would strengthen the position of the Assembly and those involved in
the dialogue. With the involvement of national parliaments, we could achieve
our goals.
THE PRESIDENT – We now come to Sub-Amendment 1 to Amendment
4, tabled by Mr Mignon, Mr Rochebloine, Mr Reiss, Ms Marland-Militello, Mr
Rouquet, Mr Gardetto and Mr Marquet, which is, in Amendment 4, to replace the
word “grant” with the following word: “invite” and, after the word “Affairs,”,
to insert the following words: “to use”.
I call Mr Mignon to support Sub-Amendment 1.
Mr MIGNON (France)
spoke in favour of Sub-Amendment 1, and said that in principle he agreed with
Amendment 4 but he wished to change the word “grant” to “invite” and to insert
“to use” after “affairs” to avoid any misunderstanding and to make completely
clear the powers and privileges of each committee and to spell out clearly what
each committee did.
THE PRESIDENT –
Does anyone wish to speak against the sub-amendment? That is not the case.
What is the opinion of the mover of the amendment?
Mr TOSHEV (Bulgaria)
– I am fully in favour.
THE PRESIDENT –
What is the opinion of the committee?
Mr MIGNON (France)
– The committee is in favour.
I call Mr Toshev to support Amendment 5. You have 30
seconds.
Mr TOSHEV (Bulgaria)
– The amendment refers to the proposal
to grant special new privileges to the Assembly’s biggest delegations. I oppose
that proposal.
I was encouraged by the readiness of the rapporteur to
co-operate with those who oppose him and who are trying to keep the spirit of
equality in this Assembly. I would support
his new proposal, which meets this point and takes our concern into
consideration.
THE PRESIDENT –
Does anyone wish to speak against the amendment? That is not the case.
What is the opinion of the committee on the amendment?
Mr MIGNON (France)
said the ad hoc committee was against Amendment 32 but was offering an oral
amendment which he hoped would deal with the concerns expressed in the original
amendment
THE PRESIDENT – I
am assuming that the committee is against, Mr Mignon?
Mr MIGNON (France)
– Yes.
THE PRESIDENT – I
shall now put the amendment to the vote.
The vote is open.
Amendment 5 is rejected.
I have received an
oral amendment from Mr Mignon, on behalf of the Ad hoc Committee on Reform of
the Parliamentary Assembly, which reads as follows:
“In paragraph 6.4.3
of the draft resolution, to replace the words ‘of the five
largest national delegations (France, Germany, Italy, the Russian Federation
and the United Kingdom)’ with the following words ‘to increase the number of
members with a view to ensuring an equitable geographical representation of
members. With this in mind each member state shall not have more than
one member on this Committee’.”
If this oral amendment is agreed to, Amendment 32 falls.
I remind the Assembly of Rule 33.6, which enables the
President to accept an oral amendment or sub-amendment on the grounds of
promoting clarity, accuracy or conciliation and if there is not opposition from
10 or more members to it being debated.
In my opinion the oral amendment meets the criteria of Rule
33.6. Is there any opposition to the amendment being debated? That is not the
case. I therefore call Mr Mignon to support Oral Amendment 1. You have 30
seconds.
Mr MIGNON (France)
spoke on behalf of the ad hoc committee in support of Oral Amendment 1, saying
that he thought this dealt with the concerns raised by Mr Toshev and his
co-signatures as well as the other members who had supported Amendment 32. This
oral amendment would ensure a more equitable geographic representation of
members on the committee.
THE PRESIDENT – Does anyone wish to speak against the oral
amendment? I call Mr Vareikis to speak. You have 30 seconds.
Mr VAREIKIS (Lithuania) – Maybe from one point of
view, this looks like a good idea. On the other hand, we will have to invent a
mechanism. How will we manage to keep to the geography and to the rules? The
members of the Rules Committee are appointed by the political groups, so this
probably needs more clarification. For the time being, it might be better not
to have it.
THE PRESIDENT – The committee is obviously in favour, Mr
Mignon?
Mr MIGNON (France)
– Yes.
THE PRESIDENT – I
shall now put the oral amendment to the vote.
The vote is open.
Oral Amendment 1 is agreed to and therefore Amendment 32
falls.

Приетата Резолюция 2186/2017 на ПАСЕ :
Resolution 2186 (2017) Provisional version
Call for a Council of Europe Summit to reaffirm European unity and to defend and promote democratic security in Europe
1.
The Parliamentary Assembly is concerned that, at present, momentous
political challenges, both within and outside Europe’s borders, are
threatening the continent and its unity: the daily risk of terrorist
attacks, the rise of Euroscepticism, nationalism, populism and
xenophobia, the persistence of frozen and open conflicts, the annexation
or occupation of a neighbour’s territories, the prolongation of state
of emergency measures and the re-emergence of divisions. Wars at the
doors of Europe threaten the security of the continent and have caused
massive refugee and migratory flows.
2.
The efficiency and authority of the unique human rights protection
system, based on the European Convention on Human Rights (ETS No. 5),
are threatened by various attempts to undermine the authority of the
European Court of Human Rights, by the lack of political will on the
part of certain States Parties to implement its judgments, despite their
legally binding force, or by delays in their implementation.
3.
Recent developments within the European Union, including ongoing
infringement and rule of law procedures against some of its member
States, the lack of solidarity in the handling of the refugee and
migratory crisis, as well as the decision by the United Kingdom to leave
the European Union, also present challenges for the Council of Europe,
as it offers a unique forum of co-operation between European States
which are members of the European Union and those which are not.
4.
Against this background, the Assembly believes that the Council of
Europe and the values it upholds are today more necessary than ever: at
the origin of the European construction, bringing together almost all
the European States on the basis of common values and principles and
thus natural guardian of “unity within diversity”, offering a common
legal space to 835 million Europeans, guaranteeing protection of their
human rights, promoting social rights and democracy and contributing to
the development of a European civil society, the Council of Europe is
today best placed to help meet the challenges raised by growing
nationalism and avoid the building of new walls.
5.
Alongside the European Union, whose far-reaching integration project
will never cover the whole continent, and the Organization for Security
and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), which also covers non-European
States, the Council of Europe, composed of 47 European States, remains
the only pan-European organisation capable of promoting and guaranteeing
democratic security throughout the continent.
6.
In order to preserve and further strengthen this unique pan-European
project, currently threatened by divisions and a weakening of member
States’ commitment, the Assembly calls for a Fourth Summit of Heads of
State and Government of Council of Europe member States.
7.
In a Europe which has profoundly changed since the last Summit, held in
Warsaw in 2005, and at a time when the whole world seems to be
changing, a Summit will offer member States a unique opportunity to
reaffirm, in the strongest possible terms and at the highest political
level, their commitment to the ideal of European unity and the values
and principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law upheld by
the Council of Europe. 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.
8. The Fourth Summit should be well-focused and could, inter alia, offer political impetus to:
8.1.
enhance the efficiency and authority of the human rights protection
system, based on the European Convention on Human Rights, reverse
current tendencies undermining the authority of the European Court of
Human Rights and improve the record of implementation of its judgments
by member States;
8.2.
strengthen the treaty system of the European Social Charter, including
its collective complaint system and its monitoring machinery (in
particular regarding the election of the members of the European
Committee of Social Rights by the Assembly), reaffirming the fact that
only the enjoyment of socio-economic rights and social inclusion allow
people to fully enjoy their political and civil rights;
8.3.
encourage member States to adopt effective measures against growing
poverty and modern slavery thus reassuring European citizens that the
European institutions are not indifferent to their problems and the
concrete conditions of their everyday life;
8.4.
recognise the valuable contribution of the Council of Europe
Commissioner for Human Rights to the development of sustainable human
rights-centred policies at national and local level throughout the
continent, as well as the role played by the Organisation’s
standard-setting and monitoring bodies;
8.5.
enhance the Council of Europe’s mission both as guardian and innovator
of democracy, including by strengthening the role of the Parliamentary
Assembly as a strong pillar of European parliamentarism, bringing
together representatives of the citizens from almost all European
States, and consolidating the role of the European Commission for
Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) as a constitutional law expert
body promoting democracy within and outside Europe’s borders.
9.
The Summit should also aim at consolidating citizens’ trust in
democratic institutions and democratic values and propose ways to
increase citizens’ participation and consultation with civil society in
search of common solutions to common problems. It could thus bring the
Organisation closer to the people it serves and contribute to the
emergence of a European civil society.
10.
At a time when the European Union is facing numerous challenges and is
also reflecting on the future of Europe, the Summit would offer a fresh
and timely opportunity to define, at the highest political level, the
role to be played by the Council of Europe in the overall European
political architecture. In a Europe of concentric circles, the Heads of
State and Government from the 47 member States of the Council of Europe,
representing the widest circle, should ensure coherence of standards
between the Council of Europe and the European Union, avoid overlapping
and best harmonise the various levels of their co-operation, in the
foremost interest of European citizens. For this purpose, the Assembly
asks the Heads of State and Government of Council of Europe member
States to discuss again the 2006 report “A sole ambition for Europe” and
to decide a specific timetable to implement the proposals contained
therein in order to remove any overlap between the Council of Europe and
the European Union.
11.
The Assembly notes that an efficient preparation of the Summit requires
the development of synergies between all sectors of the Organisation,
co-ordinated by its Secretary General, and more significantly between
its two statutory organs. Although the primary responsibility lies with
the Committee of Ministers, the Assembly, enhanced by recent reforms,
should expect to play an important role in the preparation of the
Summit, especially as it has been promoting this idea for several years.
12.
In this respect, there is currently an inconsistency in the composition
of the two statutory organs: following the illegal annexation of Crimea
by the Russian Federation and the application, on these grounds, by the
Assembly of sanctions to the Russian parliamentary delegation, for
three consecutive years one of the Council of Europe member States, the
Russian Federation, has participated in the activities and been
represented in the bodies of only one of the two statutory organs of the
Organisation, namely the Committee of Ministers, but not of the
Assembly. The Assembly regrets that, as a reaction to this situation,
the Russian Federation announced, on 30 June 2017, its decision to
suspend payment of its contribution to the budget of the Council of
Europe for 2017 until full and unconditional restoration of the
credentials of the delegation of its Federal Assembly in the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
13.
The Assembly considers that the overall situation in the Organisation
is today counterproductive, particularly as it adversely affects its
overall impact as a guardian of human rights and democracy throughout
the continent, and therefore it is not in the interest of the citizens
of the 47 member States.
14.
The Assembly notes that the Statute of the Council of Europe (ETS No.
1), as supplemented by Statutory Resolution (51) 30, provides for
synergy between the two statutory organs as regards membership of the
Organisation.
15.
However, over the years, and in particular after the Organisation’s
enlargement during the 90s, the Assembly has developed rules governing
the participation and representation rights of members of national
delegations in its own activities and bodies which do not provide for
any kind of synergy or coherence with the Committee of Ministers.
16.
Therefore the Assembly, as part of the preparatory work for the Summit,
resolves to initiate a procedure aimed at harmonising, jointly with the
Committee of Ministers, the rules governing participation and
representation of member States in both statutory organs, while fully
respecting the latters’ autonomy. This coherence should strengthen the
sense of being part of a community and the obligations incumbent upon
every member State.
17.
This common reflection could be carried out jointly by the Assembly and
the Committee of Ministers within an ad hoc working group set up by the
Joint Committee. For this process to be credible and fruitful, the
whole Assembly and every single member State should do their utmost to
ensure that all member States of the Organisation will be fully
represented in the process on both the parliamentary and
intergovernmental sides in strict compliance with their respective
obligations.
18.
In the meantime, and as part of the preparatory work for the Summit,
the Assembly resolves to continue its own reflection on its identity,
role and mission as a statutory organ of the Council of Europe and a
pan-European forum for inter-parliamentary dialogue which aims at having
an impact in all Council of Europe member States. This reflection would
also enable the Assembly to provide its own vision of the future of the
Organisation.
Приетата Препоръка 2113/ 2017 на ПАСЕ към Комитета на Министрите :
Recommendation 2113 (2017) Provisional version
Call for a Council of Europe Summit to reaffirm European unity and to defend and promote democratic security in Europe
1. The Parliamentary Assembly refers to its Resolution 2186 (2017) on
the call for a Council of Europe Summit to reaffirm European unity and
to defend and promote democratic security in Europe, in which it
expresses its concern about the numerous challenges currently
threatening the European continent and its unity. Against this
background, and for the reasons given in its resolution, the Assembly
believes that the Council of Europe, and the values it upholds, is today
more necessary than ever.
2.
In order to preserve and further strengthen the pan-European project in
a Europe which has profoundly changed since the last Summit held in
Warsaw 12 years ago, the Assembly calls on the Committee of Ministers to
convene a Fourth Summit of Heads of State and Government of Council of
Europe member States. This will offer a unique opportunity for member
States to reaffirm, in the strongest possible terms and at the highest
political level, their commitment to the ideal of European unity and the
common values and principles of democracy, human rights, and the rule
of law upheld by the Organisation.
3.
The Assembly recommends that the Fourth Summit be well-focused and
provide political impetus for a number of specific actions suggested in a
non-exhaustive manner in its resolution. It should also offer a fresh
and timely opportunity to define, at the highest political level, the
role to be played by the Council of Europe in the overall European
political architecture and address outstanding challenges in its
relations with the European Union, in the light, inter alia, of the 2006 report “A sole ambition for Europe”, in the interest of European citizens.
4.
Although the primary responsibility for the organisation of a Summit
lies with the Committee of Ministers, the Assembly underlines that an
efficient preparation of the Summit requires the development of
synergies between all sectors of the Organisation, co-ordinated by its
Secretary General, and more significantly between its two statutory
organs. The Assembly therefore asks the Committee of Ministers to:
4.1. closely associate the Assembly in the preparation of the draft agenda and draft declaration of the Fourth Summit;
4.2.
consider its proposal, as part of the preparatory work for the Summit
and for the reasons and according to the modalities described in its
resolution, to engage in a procedure aimed at harmonising jointly the
rules governing participation, representation and responsibilities of
member States in both statutory organs, while fully respecting the
latters’ autonomy.

ПРЕУТВЪРЖДАВАНЕ НА ОСНОВИТЕ НА МУЛТИЛАТЕРАЛИЗМА
Предложение за препоръка
Внесено от Джема
Грозданова (Група
на ЕНП, България) и
други членове на Асамблеята
Асамблеята,
Вземайки предвид необходимостта от укрепване на многостранните средства за ефективен
отговор и своевременна реакция на тежките проблеми пред човечеството като промяната
на климата, миграционните вълни, влошаването на морската околна среда,
икономическите сътресения предизвикани от повишаването на световната цена на
петрола и на лихвените проценти, разпространяването на фалшиви новини,
нарушаването на международното право, създаването на паралелни общества и
паралелни системи на доверие,
Подчертавайки, че подобни проблеми не могат да бъдат решени
чрез едностранно или двустранно предприемани мерки,
Признавайки, че настоящите многостранни договори целящи да
отговорят на тези проблеми, могат да доведат до резултати бавно и недостатъчно
ефективно,
Препотвърждавайки позицията изразена в своята Резолюция
1289/2002 за парламентарния контрол над международните организации и
по-специално призивът за реформа на Световната Търговска Организация, както и
за предприемане на стъпки за по-голяма
отговорност на националните и международните организации и за възвръщане на общественото
доверие и подкрепа за предлаганите реформи,
Приветствайки позицията по този въпрос изразена от Форума за
2018г. на Организацията за Икономическо Сътрудничество и Развитие (OECD) , а също и на срещата
на Г7,
Изразявайки удовлетворението си по отношение на
парламентарния контрол и сътрудничество между Асамблеята и Организацията за
Икономическо Сътрудничество и Развитие (OECD), продължаващо от 1962г. досега като механизъм за
дискутиране на такива важни въпроси ,чрез парламентарно включване,
Призовава Комитета на
Министрите,
Да инициира, след съвместни консултации с Организацията за
Икономическо Сътрудничество и Развитие (OECD) подходящи мерки целящи засилване на системата на
мултилатерализма, годни да постигат незабавни и ефективни отговори на
глобалните проблеми.
Да включи такава точка в дневния ред на Четвъртата среща на
Държавните глави и Ръководителите на правителства на страните членки на Съвета
на Европа и да държи редовно Асамблеята информирана за напредъка на
консултациите по тази тема, като взема предвид нейната позиция когато се дискутират
свързани с това въпроси.

Motion for a recommendation
Reshaping the foundations of multilateralism
Reshaping the
Foundations of Multilateralism
The Assembly,
Taking into
account the need for reinforcement of multilateral means for efficient response
and prompt reaction to severe problems before the mankind, such as climate
change, migration waves, marine environment deterioration, economic turbulences
caused by the increase of world oil prices and interest rates, the spread fake
news, disrespect for international law, formation of parallel societies and
parallel systems of trust,
Expressing satisfaction with regard to parliamentary scrutiny and cooperation between the Assembly and the OECD, lasting since 1962 as a mechanism to discuss such important issues with parliamentary involvement,
Call Upon the Committee of Ministers,
Отзвук :
Motion for Recommendation
Tabled by
Dzhema Grozdanova and other members of the Assembly
The Assembly,
Pointing
out that such problems cannot be solved through unilateral or bi-laterally
taken measures,
Recognizing
that the current multilateral agreements aimed to address such problems, are
able to produce results rather slowly and not efficient enough,
Reaffirming
the position expressed in its Resolution 1289/2002 on parliamentary scrutiny of international
institutions and especially the call for reform of the World Trade Organization,
as well as to take steps for greater accountability of the national and
international institutions, and to regain public trust and support for the
suggested reforms,
Commending
the position in this respect expressed by the OECD Forum 2018 and the
OECD Ministerial Council, as well as the G7 meeting,Expressing satisfaction with regard to parliamentary scrutiny and cooperation between the Assembly and the OECD, lasting since 1962 as a mechanism to discuss such important issues with parliamentary involvement,
To
initiate, after joint consultations with the OECD, the appropriate measures
aimed to strengthen the system of multilateralism, able to achieve prompt and
efficient response to global problems.
To include
such item in the Agenda of the Fourth Council of Europe’s Summit, to keep the
Assembly regularly informed about the progress of the consultations on this
theme, and to take into account its position when discussing pertinent issues.

(Third part)
REPORT
Twenty-third sitting
Wednesday 27 June
at 10 a.m.
(…)
2. Address by Mr Peter Pellegrini, Prime Minister
of the Slovak Republic
(…)
Effective multilateralism has been much debated
lately – alas, from both an enthusiastic and a sceptical point of view.
Promoting effective multilateralism is one of the main pillars of Slovakia’s
foreign policy. We apply all aspects of it to the Council of Europe. But let me
point out one aspect of effective multilateralism which is so simple that it is
often forgotten. The Council of Europe is a type of international organisation
that cannot be equally useful for all of its members at the same time. Sometimes
a particular State needs it more, and sometimes less. Put differently, the
Council of Europe can sometimes offer the State more, and sometimes less.
(…)
Ефективният мултилатерализъм
се дебатира напоследък -уви, както от ентусиазирана, така и от скептична гледна
точка. Да подпомагаме ефективния мултилатерализъм е един от основните стълбове
на външната политика на Словакия. Ние включваме всичките и аспекти спрямо
Съвета на Европа.
Но разрешете ми да посоча един от аспектите на ефективния мултилатерализъм, който е толкова прост, че често се забравя.
Съветът на Европа е такъв тип международна организация, която не може да бъде използвана по еднакъв начин и едновременно от своите страни-членки. Понякога една отделна страна има по-голяма нужда, а понякога по-малка. Казано по друг начин Съветът на Европа може понякога да предлага повече, а понякога по-малко.

Twenty-fifth

2. Address by Mr Jean Asselborn, Minister for Foreign and European
Affairs of Luxembourg
(…)
Effective
multilateralism has to be more than just a slogan; it is a vital prerequisite
to preserving peace on our continent. Ensuring the survival of this institution
means respecting effective multilateralism, which involves rights – in particular,
the right to participate in the elections to key posts of the Organisation –
and collective duties. Paying your subscription, respecting and implementing
the judgments of the Court, and co-o-operating in good faith with the bodies of
the Council of Europe are a part of those duties. Effective multilateralism
implies that every international organisation should respect its mandate and
its Statute.
(…)
Ефективният мултилатерализъм трябва да е нещо повече от
един девиз. Той е жизненоважно условие за запазване на мира на нашия континент.
Да запазим съществуването на тази организация означава да зачитаме ефективния
мултилатерализъм, който включва права –
в т.ч. правото да се участва в избора на висши длъжности в Организацията – и колективни задължения. Да
се плаща членския внос, да се зачитат и прилагат решенията на Съда и да се
сътрудничи добронамерено с органите на Съвета на Европа - са част от тези задължения.
Ефективният мултилатерализъм означаваа, че всяка междунарродна организация
трябва да зачита своя мандат и своя статут.
