Origin - 2012 - Fourth part-session
In the draft resolution, paragraph 11, delete the following words:
"and the use of disproportionate force to disperse them".
Explanatory note
The police of the United Kingdom, Greece, Belgium, the USA and some other countries have recently used tougher methods to disperse peaceful demonstrations. The word "disproportionate" seems to be rhetorical rather than notional in this context.
