The Assembly has created a number of cross-party networks, alliances and platforms which bring together its members to press for change in specific areas, to raise awareness of a particular issue or to exchange national experience.
By bringing together parliamentarians from different national parliaments, they are able to campaign more effectively across the continent on the most important issues facing European citizens,and press for the adoption of Council of Europe values and key legal texts.
These thematic networks are open to members of the Parliamentary Assembly and to members of delegations having observer or partner for democracy status with the Assembly, and are run under the auspices of a relevant Assembly committee.
