The Governing Council, meeting in Québec City for its 191st session,

Recalls that the IPU is the international organization of parliaments of sovereign States; it is based on the fundamental principle of dialogue between the representatives of different political, economic and social systems as a means of solving differences,

Therefore reaffirms that IPU Assemblies can only be held if all IPU Members and observers are invited and if their representatives are certain to be granted visas required for participation.
