Origin - 2017 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 2, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly also notes with concern that the rights of the parliamentary opposition are being violated. The Assembly considers that its Resolutions 1601 (2008) and 1154 (1998) should be followed up effectively, in particular when it has called on national parliaments, inter alia, to "give the opposition a status enabling it to play a responsible and constructive role", and the Assembly urges the Ukrainian authorities to ensure that all the rights of the parliamentary opposition in Ukraine are fully in line with the guidelines set out in Resolution 1601 (2008)."
