Resolution

Participants adopted a resolution (Appendix I) which expresses concern at the threats that terrorism and organised crime represent for human rights and democracy, calls upon the Committee of Ministers to adopt the legal instruments currently under preparation in the field of the fight against terrorism and organised crime, namely the draft Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism, the draft Convention on laundering search, seizure and confiscation of the proceeds from crime and on the financing of terrorism, the Draft Convention of the trafficking in human beings and the draft Recommendations on Special Investigative Techniques, the Protection of Witnesses and Collaborators of Justice, and on Identity Documents ad Terrorism.  

They also invited member States which have not yet done so to become party to the existing Council of Europe instruments contributing to the fight against terrorism and organised crime as well as other international instruments and to speed up the ratification process of new instruments.

The Resolution also requests the Council of Europe to continue its efforts in the fight against terrorism and organised crime, in particular by standard setting and monitoring activities and through its programmes to enhance capacity of member States to fight terrorism and organised crime.

In particular, paragraph 21 states that Ministers and Heads of Delegations “COUNT on the Third Summit of Heads of State and Government

- to support the strengthening of the role of the Council of Europe in the prevention and control of terrorism, organised and other forms of serious crime through standard setting, monitoring and technical co-operation, and

- to give impetus to the early signature and ratification of the new Council of Europe conventions on terrorism, trafficking in human beings, money laundering and financing of terrorism.”

Action

The Ministers’ Deputies might wish to include this Resolution in the file of the Third Summit of Heads of State and Government.
