Official description of the Monitoring Committee by the Council of Europe. http://assembly.coe.int/committee/MON/Role_E-htm. There is a modified version of this description (AS/MON/Inf [2004] 02 rev.) per the date July 1, 2004 among the Assembly information, in which modified version the information on the Assembly’s monitoring procedure is updated. However, the elder version is reproduced here, because it was determinant at the time when efforts were being made to impose monitoring on Liechtenstein.

The Secretary General gives no date or authorship for such a resolution. At all events, the Secretary General’s remark has proved to be incorrect in light of the Parliamentary Assembly resolution of January 26, 2004.
In actual fact, it is merely a constitutional amendment or constitutional reform and in no way a fully new constitution.
