Origin
2026 - Third part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 17.2, insert the following paragraph:

"calls for increased co-ordination and co-operation between member States to improve and align responses to arbitrary detention and hostage taking, and punitive measures in response to the continued arbitrary detention of European and dual-nationals;"

Explanatory note

Member states currently fail to work in support each other to get arbitrarily detained citizens returned home. Increased coordination and cooperation would make the costs higher for the Iranian regime and increase the likelihood of securing releases
