| Doc. 13021
| 01 October 2012
Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 8.1.6 with the following paragraph:
"introducing in their electoral legislation mechanisms to promote the balanced representation of women and men in elected bodies at all levels as well as encouraging political parties to introduce internal regulations, policies and affirmative actions so as to promote women’s participation and representation in politics".
Explanatory Note :
States have a responsibility in the area of legislation but only in exceptional circumstances should they interfere with party internal regulations. However, States can encourage political parties to introduce voluntary measures, as described in Ms Stavrositu’s report.
