Coalition fails to honour obligations and commitments in international law
The progress of the Assembly’s monitoring procedure (June 2011-May 2012)
The Parliamentary Assembly acknowledges the work carried out by its Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee).
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) calls on the United Kingdom to sign and ratify Protocol No. 12 to the European Convention on Human Rights (ETS No. 177) concerning the fight against discrimination; and United Kingdom to ratify the European Social Charter (revised) (ETS No. 163); and the United Kingdom to sign and ratify the Additional Protocol to the European Social Charter Providing for a System of Collective Complaints (ETS No. 158); and the United Kingdom to ratify the Civil Law Convention on Corruption (ETS No. 174); and the United Kingdom to sign and ratify the Convention on Laundering, Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds from Crime and on the Financing of Terrorism (CETS No. 198).
Comment:
Unfortunately, PACE failed to take the opportunity to urge the UK Parliament to promote progress in the implementation of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, and to initiate legislative changes aimed at eliminating structural problems leading to repeated violations of the European Convention on Human Rights.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
