Paragraph 117
 

R. Transparency/observation


Article 11(4) could be interpreted as giving international observers fewer rights than to national observers. This should be reconsidered.[1]


[1] Cf. Guidelines on an internationally recognised status of election observers adopted by the Council for Democratic Elections at its 31st meeting (Venice, 10 December 2009) and by the Venice Commission at its 81st plenary session (Venice, 11-12 December 2009) , CDL-AD(2009)059, par. 10, according to which « Both international and domestic election observers should be granted the same freedoms and rights ».
