| REQUESTS FOR INCLUSION OF AN EMERGENCY ITEM |
|
Procedure to be followed:Under the terms of Assembly Rule 11.1, any Member of the Union may request the inclusion of an emergency item in the Assembly agenda. Such a request must be accompanied by a brief explanatory memorandum and a draft resolution which clearly define the scope of the subject covered by the request. The Secretariat shall communicate the request and any such documents immediately to all Members.
Furthermore, Assembly Rule 11.2 stipulates that:
(a) A request for the inclusion of an emergency item must relate to a major event of international concern on which it appears necessary for the IPU to express its opinion. Such a request must receive a two-thirds majority of the votes cast in order to be accepted;(b) The Assembly may place only one emergency item on its agenda. Should several requests obtain the requisite majority, the one having received the largest number of positive votes shall be accepted;
(c) The authors of two or more requests for the inclusion of an emergency item may combine their proposals to present a joint one, provided that each of the original proposals relates to the same subject;
(d) The subject of a proposal that has been withdrawn by its authors or rejected by the Assembly cannot be included in the draft resolution submitted on the emergency item, unless it is clearly referred to in the request and title of the subject adopted by the Assembly.

All Members can contribute to the drafting of resolutions by submitting a brief written input (Article 13.1 of the Rules of the Standing Committees). The deadline for written input to the First and Second Standing Committees has passed (6 November 2015). Members are encouraged to submit input for the draft resolution to be adopted by the Third Standing Committee (Democracy and Human Rights) at the 135th IPU Assembly (October 2016), on The freedom of women to participate in political processes fully, safely and without interference: Building partnerships between men and women to achieve this objective. Written input to this draft resolution is welcome in the process leading up to the Lusaka Assembly, and no later than 10 April 2016.
In accordance with the Rules of the Standing Committees, proposals for subject items to be taken up by Standing Committees should be submitted no later than 15 days before the opening of the Assembly preceding the one where the subject will be discussed. As such, Members are encouraged to submit to the IPU Secretariat by 4 March 2016 at the latest their proposals for subject items to be taken up by the Standing Committee on Peace and International Security and the Standing Committee on Sustainable Development, Finance and Trade. These will serve as the basis for consultations by the respective Standing Committee Bureaux before a final decision is taken by the Standing Committee. When considering the proposals for subject items to be discussed at future Assemblies, the Bureau may recommend one of the proposals, combine two or more of them dealing with the same subject or related subjects into a single item, put forward another subject item or decide to submit more than one proposal to the Standing Committee. |
