Origin

2021 - Second part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 7, replace the words “effective multilateralism” with the following words:

"genuine multilateralism"

Explanatory note

There are different interpretations of the term "effective multilateralism" in the member states of the Council of Europe. This term is usually used as а part of EU conceptual terminology. The phrase "genuine multilateralism" seems more appropriate given the fact that many members of the Council of Europe are not members of the EU.
