First session held 10 Aug 1949, with 2 statutory organs, the Committee of Ministers (CM) and a Consultative Assembly, which was the first international parliamentary assembly in history; not a legislative body, but a deliberative and initiating organ for political and other matters dealt with by the D-XD0435 - Council of Europe (CE).
Aims
Achieve greater unity between members to safeguard and promote the ideals and principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law in order to facilitate economic and social progress; maintain dialogue with governments, national parliaments, international organisations and civil society; set the agenda through provision of texts that filter down through law and practice to improve the lives of Europeans.
