- The biannual debate on "the state of human rights in Europe", addresses by Irish President Mary McAleese and Slovenian Prime Minister Borut Pahor, and debates on Belarus and Armenia are among highlights of PACE's summer session in Strasbourg on 22-26 June. Parliamentarians are also due to decide on the creation of a "partner for democracy" status within the Assembly, aimed at the parliaments of countries neighbouring Europe, and will consider a challenge to the credentials of the Ukrainian delegation. There has also been a request for an urgent debate on the election process for the Secretary General of the Council of Europe.
