At its meeting on 4 October 2013, the Bureau appointed me as rapporteur for this report. Since then, the Bureau has met twice, on 21 November 2013 in Vienna and on 16 December 2013 in Paris. The Standing Committee met on 22 November 2013 in Vienna.
In line with my predecessors, this progress report covers the period outside of Assembly sessions, leaving aside the decisions which have already been ratified by the Assembly. Therefore, this report presents the Bureau’s activities since the end of the 4th part-session of 2013 (30 September – 4 October) until the 1st part-session of 2014 (27-31 January).
The Bureau will hold its next meetings in Strasbourg on Monday 27 January 2014 at 8 a.m. and Friday 31 January 2014 at 8.30 a.m. then on 6 March 2014 in Paris. The next meeting of the Standing Committee will also be held in Paris on 7 March 2014.

On 21 November 2013, the Bureau approved the final report of the ad hoc committee. In the same context, it took note of the opinion of the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs on “The case of Mr Vassiliy Likhachev (Russian Federation, UEL), prevented from participating in the pre-electoral mission for the observation of the presidential election in Georgia (23-26 September 2013)” and decided that the Assembly and its committees should not hold any meetings in Georgia for a period of two years, and that this measure may be lifted earlier by the Bureau if the Georgian authorities guarantee freedom of movement of Assembly members in Georgia when on Assembly business.

The President appointed Mr René Rouquet (SOC, France) Chair of the ad hoc committee.

The Assembly is invited to ratify these Bureau decisions.
Endorsing a proposal made by the former Committee on Equal Opportunities for Women and Men at its meeting in Strasbourg on 15 April 2011, the Bureau decided to publish figures on the gender breakdown of Assembly positions and to produce an annual report on progress in achieving gender equality in the functioning of the Assembly. The figures are annexed in Appendix 4.
In 2013, women continued to be underrepresented in all Assembly and Committee positions, even if there has been improvement in some areas.
As regards overall Assembly membership, in 2013 women represented 34% of the total, an increase of 2% compared to the previous year. They were slightly better represented amongst Substitutes (37%) than amongst Representatives (32%).
In 2013, all national delegations with the exception of Iceland complied with the requirement set out in Rule 6.2.a of the Assembly’s Rules of Procedure, according to which ‘(…) National delegations should include members of the under-represented sex at least in the same percentage as in their parliaments and, at a very minimum, one member of the under-represented sex appointed as representative’. As a result, in 2013 there was a challenge of credentials concerning Iceland on this ground.
Women’s underrepresentation was confirmed as regards the Assembly’s main leadership positions even though a slight improvement can be seen as regards the representation of women as Vice-Presidents, which rose from 25% in 2012 to 29% in 2013. Women’s representation in the Bureau also improved (from 22% to 30%) while it remained the same in the Presidential Committee (14%).
Figures on Committee Chairmanships show progress: in 2013, women represented 50% of Chairpersons, compared to 25 % in 2012 and 20% in 2011. However, there has been a decrease in the representation of women as Committee Vice-Chairs: 33% in 2013 compared to 39% in 2012.
As regards the composition of Committees, women are slightly better represented as alternates (35%) as opposed to members (33%). However, the proportion of women who were Rapporteurs for reports in Assembly debates has decreased: in 2013 they represented 32% as opposed to 34% in 2012. Women Rapporteurs for opinion however decreased from 29% in 2012 to 17% in 2013. The Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination is the only Committee which had a female Rapporteur for Opinion. The Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media and the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons should be mentioned as good examples, as they managed to ensure a 50% share of women and men in rapporteurs for report. It should be recalled that, when appointing Rapporteurs, Committees should take into account gender amongst other criteria, in accordance with Rule 49.
On 1 September 2013, armed men raided the Camp Ashraf in Iraq, which has been for many years home for Iranian political dissidents exiled from their country. At least 52 residents were shot dead. There is credible evidence, including video footage and photographs, that many of the 52 had been shot in the head, some while handcuffed.
The Iraqi government denied responsibility for the attack but promised to investigate the killings. To date, no official results of such an investigation have been made public.
We are appalled that, almost 12 weeks after this deadly raid, the perpetrators of this atrocious crime have not yet been brought to justice. An independent international inquiry must be conducted as soon as possible.
During the same raid, seven Iranian dissidents, six women and one man, all belonging to the Iranian opposition group People’s Mujahedeen Organisation of Iran, were abducted from Camp Ashraf.
There are indications that these seven people are being held by the Iraqi security forces at a secret detention facility in Baghdad. They are at risk of torture and other ill-treatment and could be forcibly returned to Iran.
We urge the Iraqi authorities to release these seven Iranians, unless they are duly charged with an internationally recognisable criminal offence; to make sure that they are protected from torture and other ill-treatment; and not to forcibly return them to Iran where their lives would be in danger.
We call on the office of the UN High Commissioner for refugees (UNHCR) to provide protection to the residents of the Camp Liberty in accordance with its mandate.
The Bureau of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), meeting today in Vienna (Austria), deplored the fact that the organisation of an international peace conference on Syria (Geneva 2), which the Assembly wholeheartedly supported when adopting its Recommendation 2026 (2013) on the situation in Syria last month, has not yet been convened and no date has been fixed. The international community has so far failed to reach agreement both on the participants and the agenda.
The Bureau of the Assembly recalls that whereas the international community’s agreement on a process aimed at the elimination of Syria’s chemical weapons and the Resolution 2118 adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 27 September 2013, had renewed hopes for peace, they did not stop the war, which continues nonetheless with the use of conventional weapons.
Underlying that the possibility of eliminating violence and embracing the change for which so many lives have been sacrificed can only be opened up to Syria through a political solution to the conflict, the Bureau of the Assembly reiterates the urgent need to convene the international peace conference on Syria (Geneva 2) before the end of this year and, in this respect, urges the Council of Europe member States to:
The Assembly will discuss how to organise the international assistance with respect to Syrian refugees at its January 2014 part-session.
