Extraordinary Session and presentation of requests for an Opinion

Order 6 (1949)

Author(s):
Parliamentary Assembly

(Doc. 87, Section A, Ch III, § 1)

The Assembly decided to refer to the Standing Committee of the Assembly the various proposals for the convocation of an Extraordinary Session early in 1950.

It regards the convocation of such an extraordinary Session as inevitable, seeing the number and urgency of the problems before the Council of Europe.

It would leave it to the discretion of the Standing Committee of the Assembly to determine the best time for this session, and to request the Committee of Ministers that, as provided in Article 19 of the Statute, the different questions transmitted by the Committee of Ministers to the Assembly for its opinion shall in each case be dealt with in precise Reports and clearly-worded proposals.
