JOINT ASSEMBLY OF THE CONVENTION CONCLUED BETWEEN THE AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC STATES AND THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (ACP-EC)

RESOLUTION () on the abolition of the death penalty

The ACP-EU Joint Assembly,

- meeting in Luxembourg from 23 to 26 September 1996,

A. deploring the fact that more than half the States bound by the ACP-EU Convention impose the death penalty, in certain situations, in the absence of legal guarantees,

B. whereas only 27 Member States of the Lomé Convention have totally abolished the death penalty,

C. concerned by the upsurge in the use of the death penalty, including in countries which had not carried out executions for over ten years,

D. regretting that many countries, even democracies, impose the death penalty in circumstances precluded by international human rights conventions (minors, mental illnesses etc.),

E. whereas no State, and especially no democratic State, may decide people's fates by prescribing in its legal codes the death penalty for offences, even very serious ones,

1. Reaffirms its absolute opposition to the death penalty;

2. Requests the Member States of the Lomé Convention in which the death penalty is still in force to decide to introduce a three-year moratorium as the first step towards abolitionist legislation;

3. Requests the States bound by the ACP-EU Convention which still impose the death penalty for exceptional crimes or which no longer impose it in practice to take the measures necessary to introduce abolitionist legislation for all crimes;

4. Invites the Member countries which are signatories to the Lomé Convention to support in the next meeting of the UN General Assembly the proposal for a universal moratorium on capital punishment on the basis of the right of every human being not to be killed in consequence of a judicial sentence;

5. Instructs its Co-Presidents to forward this resolution to the ACP-EU Council, the Commission and the Secretary-General of the UN.
Joint Assembly of the Convention concluded between the African, Caribbean and Pacific States and the European Union (ACP-EU) - Resolutions adopted on Western Sahara (ACP-EU/2080/97/fin.)

The ACP-EU Joint Assembly,

- meeting in Brussels from 17 to 20 March 1997,

- having regard to its previous resolutions on the subject,

A. having regard to the Madrid Tripartite Agreements by which the Spanish, Moroccan and Mauritanian governments established the partition of Western Sahara, in blatant violation of the legitimate rights of the Sahrawi people to self-determination, and in contravention of international law,

B. whereas the Kingdom of Morocco has been obstructing the preparation and organization of the referendum on self-determination planned by the United Nations,

C. drawing attention to the resolutions by the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity,

D. whereas James Baker has been proposed to act as mediator in the present conflict between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Polisario Front,

E. whereas the UN Secretary General has put forward a proposal to revive the peace process,

1. Demands that the Kingdom of Morocco comply with international resolutions and cease to impede the preparation and organization of the referendum;

2. Requests the Kingdom of Morocco to resume direct talks with the Polisario Front;

3. Requests the United Nations and its Secretary General to take the necessary steps to ensure compliance with its resolutions, restart the identification process and create the necessary conditions for holding the referendum on self-determination to which the Sahrawi people has a legitimate right;

4. Calls on the EU to take account of the interests of the Sahrawi people in the agreements it reaches with the Kingdom of Morocco;

5. Calls on the EU to ensure that the Sahrawi people receives cooperation and humanitarian aid on a sufficient and urgent basis;

6. Instructs its Co-Presidents to forward this resolution to the ACP-EU Council, the Commission, the government of the Kingdom of Morocco and the Polisario Front.
RESOLUTION(1)

on improving regional infrastructures in Central Africa

The ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly,

- meeting in Brussels (Belgium) from 9 to 12 October 2000,

A. whereas, at the Bureau meeting of 10 July 2000 in Hanover, the representative of the Central African Republic and Konrad Schwaiger, Vice-President of the ACP-EU Parliamentary Assembly, stressed the need for a programme to improve regional infrastructures in central Africa,

B. whereas the reorganisation of working methods requires not only discussion of crises and emergencies but also support for long-term regional development projects,

1. Calls on the Commission, in concert with all the countries of the subregion, to submit a programme to build and improve regional infrastructures in central Africa;

2. Instructs its Co-Presidents to forward this resolution to the ACP-EU Council and the Commission.

(1) Adopted by the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly on 12 October 2000 in Brussels (Belgium).
20.

Encourages the EU to provide the Eastern Partnership countries with assistance for planning their respective strategies for the progressive approximation and effective implementation and enforcement of the relevant legislation, in particular with regard to the sequence in which areas of legislation are approximated and to the conditions necessary for their implementation; stresses at the same time that the EU should take into account each Eastern Partnership country’s specific economic circumstances, especially where they may affect the sequence in which each country should tackle the approximation; notes in this regard the fruitful work of the EU advisory group and urges the Commission to continue developing this format of assistance in consultation with countries and partners;
5.

Condemns Russia’s direct and indirect military aggression in eastern Ukraine and the illegal annexation of Crimea in reaction to the sovereign choice of Ukraine to move forward in its European perspective; calls on the Russian Federation to respect the internationally recognised sovereignty of Ukraine, to withdraw its forces, to stop supporting separatist forces in eastern Ukraine and, to respect the numerous international, multilateral and bilateral treaties, including the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which call for diplomatic solutions for all crises, as well as for avoidance of all forms of armed aggression or intervention in other states; calls on Russia to end the information war aimed at inciting ethnic hatred between Russians and Ukrainians; demands full cooperation by all parties with the investigations into the shooting-down of MH17, and stresses that those responsible must be brought to justice; condemns, furthermore, the trade restrictions imposed by Russia on the EU and several partner countries; supports the EU’s restrictive measures against Russia and insists that it should maintain them as long as Russia fails to comply with the Minsk Agreements or adopt a constructive position as regards reaching a peaceful settlement to the conflict in eastern Ukraine; condemns the illegal, non-constitutional and illegitimate elections held in the separatist-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk and recognised by Russia, which constitute a threat to the unity of Ukraine and a hindrance to the peace process; urges the Russian authorities to immediately release Nadia Savchenko, who was abducted and is illegally detained in Russia;
44.

Reiterates the EU’s demand to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova, stressing that unconditional withdrawal of the Russian military, combat vehicles and ammunition from the territories of the Republic of Moldova, is the only guarantee for a peaceful settlement of the conflict. Underscores that unilateral concessions requested by 5 + 2 mediators and observers cannot be made at the expense of the constitutional freedoms and liberties of the democratic citizens of Moldova. Recognize that Moldovan citizens must enjoy their right to live in a country protected against deep-seeded security, defence and hybrid threats, to move freely along the territory of Moldova, be protected against unlawful search or discretionary arrests of the unrecognized structures of the separatist bodies in Tiraspol, which must be seen as a priority compared to other elements of the conflict settlement;
