Origin - 2014 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 10, insert the following paragraph:

"The repeal of the anti-protest laws and the resignation or the government are a first step towards a peaceful solution of the political crisis. These actions, as well as indications that both authorities and opposition have stepped up their efforts to find a negotiated solution for the stand-off, are welcomed by the Assembly. They offer an important window of opportunity that should now be followed up by both sides with further concrete steps to resolve the crisis peacefully and democratically."
