Session
2025 - November Standing Committee (Republic of Moldova)

Summary

The Resolution 2634 emphasises the importance of active participation within the Parliamentary Assembly, highlighting its role in upholding human rights, democracy, and the rule of law amidst contemporary challenges to multilateralism and democratic processes. The Assembly endorses reforms to inspire engagement and foster inclusive participation, including the creation of special committees to address urgent and cross-cutting issues, introducing mechanisms for direct questioning during debates, and streamlining participation procedures to enhance effectiveness and representation. Additionally, the resolution advocates measures to support members, particularly in terms of attendance, reporting, and inter-parliamentary cooperation, while enhancing visibility and outreach efforts. National parliaments are encouraged to facilitate participation by treating Assembly activities as integral to parliamentary duties and promoting collaboration among lawmakers. Amendments to the Rules of Procedure will be effective from January 2026.
