In the draft resolution, after paragraph 13, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly calls on Council of Europe member States to prepare, in close consultation with Iranian civil society, human rights defenders, women’s rights activists, independent journalists, trade unions, lawyers and democratic actors, co-ordinated forms of support that can be mobilised rapidly if and when a political opening occurs in Iran. Such support should strengthen the rule of law, independent institutions, pluralistic media, transitional justice, and democratic participation, while fully respecting the right of the Iranian people to determine their own future.”
