Council of Europe and the Rule of Law

Polakiewicz J and Sandvig J

The Council of Europe works on a daily basis to promote and strengthen the rule of law in and among its member states. The Council of Europe has taken up the European Commission’s invitation to engage in further discussions on the complementarity of existing and new mechanisms. The European Union’s rule of law initiative could become a catalyst for a further deepening of the strategic partnership between the EU and the Council of Europe. The member states of the Council of Europe all agreed on the importance of the rule of law as a fundamental value and steering principle for future work of the organization.
