PACE holds today an urgent debate on “the challenge of terrorism in Council of Europe member States”. The Political Affairs Committee will present a report and the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights an oral opinion. The initiative of holding an urgent debate on the subject was put forward in September by Konstantin Kosachev (Russia, EDG) on behalf of the Russian delegation. It was designed as a joint response on behalf of the international community to the challenge of the terrorist threat in Greater Europe.
