1. The Parliamentary Assembly refers
to Resolution 1923 (2013) on reinforcing the selection processes for experts of
key Council of Europe human rights monitoring mechanisms and invites
the Committee of Ministers to take into account, in the context
of its work relating to the designation of experts serving on Council
of Europe human rights monitoring bodies, its recommendations therein
with respect to the reinforcement of national selection procedures
and the quality of such experts. Also, the rules which guarantee
the independence of human rights monitoring bodies should provide
for the withdrawal or the dismissal of an expert found to be in a
conflict of interest situation.
