Resolutions on human rights cases
Twice a year, the Governing Council of the IPU adopts resolutions concerning alleged violations of human rights of parliamentarians in different countries. Before these documents are made public, each case is scrupulously studied by the Union's Committee on the Human Rights of Parliamentarians, which prepares corresponding draft resolutions and submits them to the Council.
To get acquainted with the texts of resolutions on human rights cases adopted by the Council since 1996, select a Council session from the list below.
