Monaco Takes Leadership Role in European Human Rights Organisation
The Principality will chair the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers from May 15th, prioritising human rights protection during its six-month term.
The Principality is set to assume the presidency of the Committee of Ministers at the Council of Europe on May 15th, taking the helm of this influential Strasbourg-based international organisation for the next six months.
During its chairmanship, Monaco plans to leverage its position to champion human rights protection and advancement across Europe. The role places the Principality at the centre of key discussions affecting 46 member countries and over 700 million Europeans.
The Committee of Ministers serves as the Council of Europe's decision-making body, bringing together foreign ministers from across the continent to shape policies on democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Monaco's presidency comes at a crucial time when these fundamental values face mounting challenges across the region.
