Origin
2025 - First part-session
In the draft resolution, before paragraph 15.1, insert the following paragraph:

"conclude the accession of the European Union to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as enshrined in Article 6(2) of the Treaty on the European Union and reaffirmed in paragraph 6 of the European Union’s priorities for co-operation with the Council of Europe in 2025-2026;"

Explanatory note

The most important aspect of the partnership between the EU and the CoE should be mentioned. The accession of the EU to the ECHR is an important contribution to rules-based multilateralism, a single European legal space, and the protection of human rights in Europe.
