In the draft resolution, after paragraph 18, insert the following paragraph:

"Continuing attacks on the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons remain a serious concern, with the introduction of laws restricting freedom of expression and assembly in relation to homosexuality in nine constituent entities of the Russian Federation and a proposal for similar legislation in the Federal Duma, and with the widespread refusal to allow peaceful assemblies despite the European Court of Human Rights judgment in Alekseyev v. Russia."
