PACE summit was held in Istanbul as a result of which a declaration
and resolutions was adopted by the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. The
document reads that the parliamentarians of the OSCE participating
States, have met in annual session in Istanbul on 29 June to 3 July
2013 as the Parliamentary dimension of the OSCE to assess developments
and challenges relating to security and co-operation, in particular on
Helsinki +40.
OSCE Parliamentary Assembly calls on the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to
continue their engagement with Armenia and Azerbaijan to seek
solutions to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh; it opposes attempts
to downgrade or eliminate OSCE field operations by host Governments
that continue to violate their OSCE commitments in significant ways
and are in clear
need of field operations based on existing mandates;
OSCE Parliamentary Assembly calls for renewed negotiations on the
Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty, and urges all States
parties to the Treaty to honour their CFE obligations.
It also supports the OSCE FSC decisions to provide assistance with
collection and destruction and improving stockpile management and
security, and encourages participating States to further request OSCE
assistance on Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) and ammunition.
OSCE Parliamentary Assembly calls for intensified political efforts
towards generating a peaceful and viable solution to the unresolved
conflicts, urges the OSCE Chairmanship and parties to the conflicts to
redouble efforts to find solutions to the tragic protracted conflicts
in the Caucasus and the Republic of Moldova, calls on participating
parties to ensure the beginning of the process of de-occupation of the
territories of Georgia and recommends agreeing on mechanisms for the
safe and dignified return of all internally displaced persons (IDPs)
in Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region.
OSCE Parliamentary Assembly supports the Geneva International
Discussions for finding solutions to the consequences of the 2008 war
in Georgia, welcomes the decrease of security-related incidents and
the work of the Ergneti Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism,
encourages the resumption of the activities of the Gali Incident
Prevention and Response Mechanism and urges the OSCE to continue its
work on confidence-and security-building measures in Georgia,
including through increased engagement with civil society.
