Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.

 

In my submission, I have suggested a rewording of the Article. I have proposed using the United Nations formulation regarding human rights. This avoids the danger of omitting something from a list. When drafting such a treaty, an important point is to avoid suggesting a community has more competencies than it actually has. If we look at the relevant section of the treaty, it clearly failed in this regard.
