Origin - 2017 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 17, delete the following words:

"It takes note of the authorities' explanations justifying the continued detention of Mr Mammadov. Nonetheless,".

Explanatory note

The Assembly should not take the note of the government's position, which is violating the European Court decision and ignores repeated calls by the Committee of Ministers to release Mr Mammadov.
