2024 - Third part-session

Summary

The Parliamentary Assembly's Recommendation 2281 emphasizes the need for effective reparation and reconciliation processes to address the suffering caused by past conflicts and to foster a peaceful future. It calls on the Committee of Ministers to establish a mediation process under the Council of Europe to facilitate dialogue between member States regarding reparations and remedies. This process should prioritize the needs of victims, ensure good faith cooperation among States, and avoid conflicts with existing mechanisms. The Assembly advocates for a victim-centered approach and the development of adaptable tools and standards for addressing post-conflict complexities, ultimately aiming to promote lasting peace and justice.
