For more democratic elections

Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons

Origin - 2012 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 8.1.6, insert the following paragraph:

"facilitating access to nationality as advocated in the European Convention on Nationality (ETS No. 166) and granting migrants voting rights and/or other possibilities for political participation as proposed in the Convention on the Participation of Foreigners in Public Life at Local Level (ETS No. 144). Democratic legitimacy is not served by excluding large numbers of migrants from political life and democratic elections."
