50th Anniversary Of The Council Of Europe

EDM number 32 in 1998-99, proposed by Terry Davis on 24/11/1998.

That this House notes that the Council of Europe was founded in 1949 to unite the peoples of Europe around the values of pluralist democracy, human rights, the rule of law and a culture of tolerance; notes that it is Europe's oldest international organisation - from the Atlantic to the Urals - since it comprises 40 member states, with the applications of four more under consideration; welcomes the Action Plan agreed by its Heads of State and Government meeting at its Second Summit in October 1997 which included the establishment of a new Single European Court of Human Rights on 1st November 1998, the creation of an office of Commissioner for Human Rights, and the strengthening of machinery ensuring the compliance of member states' commitments; congratulates the Council of Europe on its 50th Anniversary; notes with appreciation its accomplishments in the advancement of democracy and particularly in the new democracies following the fall of communism in Europe: and calls on the Government to help ensure that it maintains its pre-eminent role in the future architecture of Europe.

This motion has been signed by a total of 88 MPs.
