The Parliamentary Assembly's Resolution 2610 addresses the pressing need for innovative democratic practices in Council of Europe member States, exploring the concept of a new social contract. It emphasises restoring trust in democracy through participatory and deliberative methods, particularly involving young people in decision-making processes. The resolution advocates for strengthening police-community relations and ensuring law-enforcement practices are respectful and non-discriminatory. It highlights the importance of recognising the complex roles of law-enforcement officials, advocating for continuous training and engagement with local communities to prevent social unrest. The Assembly calls for member States to foster inclusive public policymaking, encourage trust-based policing, and actively support the right to protest through dialogue and non-aggressive management of demonstrations.
