PACE Rejects Resolution on Reform: No Legitimate Decisions Are Possible If Russia Is Excluded
October 12, 2018

Why PACE has turned its gaze toward post-Soviet conflicts
May 30, 2015

As has been reported, last April the Monitoring Committee met during the spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.  A special subcommittee was created at that meeting – the Ad hoc Sub-Committee on Conflicts between Member States of the Council of Europe.  This new entity, which will be directly responsible for looking into so-called «frozen conflicts» in the former Soviet Union, should have official status and begin its work in June.  It met for the first time in Paris on May 27…

Does Russia Need PACE?
June 21, 2014

Having stripped the Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe of its rights, PACE President Anne Brasseur then asked State Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin for the Russian delegation to participate in the organisation’s June session.

NATO Sets PACE of Aggression towards Russia with ‘Fogh’ of War
April 11, 2014

When asked on the foundational purpose of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, its first Secretary General, Britain’s Lord Ismay, famously said: “To keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down”…Today NATO seems to be fulfilling its original mission more than ever by isolating Russia and giving Washington a new lease of life in European political affairs…The latest expulsion of Russia from the Parliamentary Assembly of the European Council (PACE) following a resolution condemning Moscow for “annexation of Crimea” and “military occupation of Ukraine” is an unfortunate example of how NATO’s Cold War zero-sum logic is once again manifesting…
