Recommendation 2259 (2023)1Provisional version

The role of the Council of Europe in preventing conflicts, restoring credibility of international institutions and promoting global peace

Parliamentary Assembly

1. Recalling its Resolution 2515 (2023) “The role of the Council of Europe in preventing conflicts, restoringcredibility of international institutions and promoting global peace”, the Parliamentary Assembly believes thatthe Council of Europe should develop additional tools to promote democratic security. While national defenceis explicitly excluded from the scope of responsibility of the Council of Europe, the Organisation plays a crucialrole in strengthening democratic security.

2. The Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine, however, is the most recent and one of the mostextreme examples of the limited effectiveness of the current Council of Europe’s mechanisms when it comesto guaranteeing security as a basic precondition for the protection of democracy, human rights and the rule oflaw.

3. To remedy this weakness, the Assembly proposes the creation of a Council of Europe commondemocratic security policy, which would catalyse efforts of the Council of Europe in protecting andstrengthening international security and enhance its impact in this area. The policy should ensure acomprehensive use of early warning and confidence-building measures, improve policy making, strengthenaccountability and prevent future conflicts.

4. In the light of the above, the Assembly invites the Committee of Ministers to consider developing acommon democratic security policy aimed at enhancing the role and impact of the Council of Europe indemocratic security and conflict prevention, and at creating the preconditions for long-lasting peace. Thispolicy should be elaborated and implemented within the legal and political mandate of the Council of Europe,in complementarity with the activities of the other international organisations competent in this field, and inparticular should address the issues of improving the United Nations governing bodies’ decision-makingprocess, enhancing accountability for crimes in accordance with international law and enforcing the duty tomake reparations for internationally wrongful acts.
