Origin
2022 - Fourth part-session
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 11 with the following paragraph:

"The Assembly notes with satisfaction that the recognition of WHO-approved vaccines is now more and more widely accepted within the European Union. With European Union member States free to limit access to public venues and to impose additional restrictions on non-European Union citizens, however, this may lead to discrimination and to other violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms."

Explanatory note

It must be made clear that limitations on the movement of individuals can lead to discrimination and human rights violations.
