PACE Resolution 1798 Flashcards

Flashcards based on PACE Resolution 1798 regarding parliamentary assembly representation.

Fair Representation

Parliaments with many political groups but a limited number of seats may face difficulties in fulfilling the condition of fair representation.

Pluralistic Delegation Composition

If a parliament consists mostly of two major political groups and several very small opposition parties, it is preferable to include other groups in the delegation to make it more pluralistic, rather than distributing seats equally.

Rotating Membership

For small political groups, the possibility of annually rotating membership of the delegation may be considered.

Compromise Efforts

When there are problems appointing delegation members, the political group(s) supporting the government might be asked to make compromise efforts to promote better representation of the opposition.
