OSCE PA`s 20th Annual Session to be held in Belgrade
Baku (AzerTAc) - The 20th Annual Session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly will be held from 6 to 10 July in Belgrade, Serbia, under the general theme of “Strengthening the OSCE`s Effectiveness and Efficiency -- A new start after the Astana Summit.”
Azerbaijan`s parliamentary delegation led by Vice-Speaker Bahar Muradova will participate in the session.
The delegation includes MPs Eldar Ibrahimov, Rabiyyat Aslanova, Fattah Heydarov, Agalar Valiyev and Azay Quliyev.
The annual session typically gathers about 250 parliamentarians to elect officers and vote on resolutions to inform the work of the OSCE and parliamentarians in participating States. The event will conclude with the adoption of the Belgrade Declaration, expressing the collective will of the OSCE`s parliamentary dimension.
Members will vote on more than 25 resolutions covering Mediterranean political transition, cyber security, combating transnational organized crime, human organ trafficking, food security, disaster planning, and nuclear energy among other issues. All committee reports and resolutions are available here.
“In a world with ever changing threats to security and human rights, the Parliamentary Assembly has been a leader in encouraging the OSCE to act openly and transparently in addressing regional concerns,” said Assembly President Petros Efthymiou. “Now at our 20th annual meeting our work is all the more important as we vote on how the OSCE can best respond to the dynamic situations in the Mediterranean and continued conflicts elsewhere.”
“From strengthening the dialogue between the governmental representatives and parliaments to helping upgrading the organization’s work on media freedom, economic and gender issues, votes taken at past Annual Session have often led to lasting changes for the OSCE,” said Assembly Secretary General Spencer Oliver.
