Origin - 2016 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 5 with the following paragraph:

"Moreover, the Assembly notes the existence of national "blacklists" of parliamentarians to whom the States which have drawn them up can refuse visas or entry. Criminal or administrative proceedings for having breached a State's legislation on entry into its territory must fully comply with international law. The Assembly underlines that, regardless of the legitimacy of the assertion by certain States of their sovereignty or the integrity of their territory in response to real or presumed threats, all restrictive measures are subject to compliance with international law, principles of good governance and the respect of law."
