Origin - 2013 - March Standing Committee

In the draft resolution, paragraph 10, in the first sentence, after the words "the Assembly calls on the States in the region", insert the following words:

"that have not yet done so".

Explanatory note

Slovenia introduced a quota system into electoral law(s) on all levels of decision-making and the salary gap in Slovenia is the lowest of all European Union members. The Convention has not been ratified due to problems in translating the term "domestic violence" into Slovenian – similar problems exist in other member States.
