Resolution adopted unanimously by the IPU Governing Council at its 185th session
(Geneva, 21 October 2009)

The Governing Council of the Inter-Parliamentary Union,

Referring to the case of the 56 former parliamentarians listed above, who were all dismissed by the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) on 7 March 2007, as outlined in the report of the Committee on the Human Rights of Parliamentarians (CL/185/11(b)-R.1), and to the resolution adopted at its 184th session (April 2009),

Taking into account the information provided by the President of the National Assembly of Ecuador at the hearing with the Committee on 18 October 2009 and in his letter of 12 October 2009; also taking into account the information regularly provided by the source,

Recalling its concern regarding criminal proceedings against 24 of the dismissed parliamentarians on grounds of compromising State security and overstepping their functions by continuing to meet at alternative venues in Quito as representatives of the legitimate Congress of Ecuador immediately after they were dismissed in March 2007, which dismissal the IPU has always considered to lack any firm legal basis; considering that on 12 October 2009 the Prosecutor in the case decided to drop the charges against the 24 persons concerned,

Recalling that in April 2009 legislative elections were held in Ecuador on the basis of a new constitution; considering that, according to the President of the National Assembly, the authorities are fully committed to ensuring that the powers of the different State branches are respected in line with Ecuador's current constitutional framework,

  1. Thanks the President of the National Assembly for the information that he provided and for his cooperation;

  2. Is pleased that the legal action taken against 24 of the dismissed deputies in connection with activities directly linked to their parliamentary mandate has now been shelved;

  3. Decides, in the light of this development, to close the case, while trusting that the authorities' stated commitment will avoid any recurrence of the earlier concerns arising in this case;

  4. Requests the Secretary General to convey this resolution to the parliamentary authorities and to the source.
