Origin - 2017 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 1, insert the following paragraph:

"Given the role of the Council of Europe as the leading human rights organisation that provides high European legal standards and accumulates best practice in their implementation, the Assembly welcomes the close cooperation of Ukraine with the relevant bodies of the Council. Such interaction embraces support in the implementation of strategically important areas of domestic reform, including decentralisation, judicial and election legislation, the fight against corruption and the effective protection of human rights. A significant part of this support is provided in the Council of Europe's Action Plans for Ukraine, and the Assembly welcomes the considerable progress achieved in the implementation of the current Action Plan for the period 2015-2017."
