03/09/2012 Monitoring
Strasbourg, 03.09.2012 – The Monitoring Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will be meeting in camera in Paris on 4 September 2012 to examine the report on honouring of obligations and commitments by the Russian Federation and adopt a draft resolution.
In the document the co-rapporteurs, György Frunda (Romania, EPP/CD) and Andreas Gross (Switzerland, SOC), assess the political situation, the economic and social situation, external relations, the functioning of pluralist democracy, the rule of law, and human rights and fundamental freedoms.
To date, the Monitoring Committee has submitted three reports on the honouring of obligations and commitments by the Russian Federation: an information report in 1998 and two full reports, in 2002 and 2005. The new report therefore covers a period of seven years.
The meeting is closed to the press. The report and draft resolution will be published after the meeting on the PACE website (http://assembly.coe.int).
