  • Situation in Belarus on the Eve of the Presidential Election
    Parliamentary Assembly Assemblee parlementaire Doc. 10806 24 January 2006 Situation in Belarus on the eve of the presidential election Report Political Affairs Committee Rapporteur: Mr Andres Herkel, Estonia, Group of the European People’s Party Summary In the run-up to the presidential election in Belarus to be held on 19 March 2006, the Lukashenko regime has undertaken a series of measures to prevent even further any expression of dissent and obstruct the activities of democratic forces: the recently adopted ‘anti-revolution law’ is a confirmation of this state of affairs. In addition, the abuse of the criminal justice system for political purposes, the total control of state media by the regime and the increasing obstacles placed on the activities of the few existing independent media continue to preoccupy the Assembly. From the democratic forces side, the recent election of the Single Candidate of the Unified Democratic Forces of Belarus to challenge the incumbent President in the election represents a positive development and a sign of increased maturity. Under these circumstances, there cannot be any change in the Assembly’s policy towards the Lukashenko regime, while its support to the consolidation of democratic forces should be intensified. However, should the Belarusian authorities give clear and conclusive signs of their commitment to move closer to Council of Europe standards in the fields of democracy, rule of law and human rights, the Assembly would be prepared to reopen appropriate communication channels. ________________________ Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly, F – 67075 Strasbourg Cedex, tel.: +33 3 88 41 20 00, fax: +33 3 88 41 27 76, http://assembly.coe.int, [email protected] Doc.

    Parliamentary Assembly Assemblée parlementaire Doc. 10878 8 April 2006 Observation of the parliamentary elections in Ukraine (26 March 2006) Report Ad hoc Committee of the Bureau of the Assembly Rapporteur: Mrs Renate Wohlwend, Liechtenstein, Group of the European People's Party The 2006 Parliamentary Elections were generally in line with Council of Europe standards and commitments for democratic elections. These elections further consolidated the breakthrough in the conduct of democratic elections that started with the re-run of the second round of the Presidential elections in 2004. Despite technical shortcomings, in a clear break with the past, Ukraine demonstrated its commitment to the democratic process and voters could express their will freely on Election Day. The ad hoc Committee calls upon the Ukrainian authorities, including the incoming Verkhovna Rada, to address the remaining shortcomings and implement the recommendations contained in this report. I. Introduction 1. Following invitations by the President of Ukraine and the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada the Bureau of the Assembly decided to set up an ad hoc Committee to observe the Parliamentary Elections in Ukraine to be held on 26 March 2006, and appointed me as the Chairperson and rapporteur of this Ad Hoc Committee. 2. In conformity with article 15 of the cooperation agreement between the Assembly and the European Commission for Democracy through Law ( “Venice Commission” ) which provides that “When the Bureau of the Assembly decides to observe an election in a country in which electoral legislation was previously examined by the Venice Commission, one of the rapporteurs of the Venice Commission on this issue may be invited to join the Assembly's election observation mission as legal adviser”, the Bureau of the Assembly invited an expert from the Venice Commission to join the ad hoc Committee as advisor.
