Amendment No. 5 | Doc. 13863 | 29 September 2015
Abuse of pretrial detention in States Parties to the European Convention on Human Rights
In the draft resolution, paragraph 7.2, delete the following words:
"(for example certain cases of United National Movement (UNM) leaders in Georgia)".
Explanatory note
After the election in 2012, the number of pre-trial detentions considerably decreased. Pre-trial detention is used only as an exception and utmost measure. Investigations involving former governmental officials started, inter alia, considering the recommendations of different international intergovernmental and nongovernmental organisations, including institutions of the Council of Europe.
