Sub-Amendment to Amendment No. 1 | Doc. 13011 | 03 October 2012
The definition of political prisoner
In the proposed amendment, in the first sentence, replace the words "were based on" with the following words:
"were inspired by, inter alia,"
Explanatory note
The text as it stands is factually wrong. In actual fact, only one of the Secretary General's Independent Experts who participated in formulating the criteria developed for the Council of Europe had previously worked with an expert who had acted as the UN Security Council's expert on the situation of political prisoners in Namibia.
