PACE subcommittee on frozen conflicts to be formed
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe is considering formation of a subcommittee to deal with frozen conflicts.

The subcommittee is supposed to operate jointly with the CoE Secretary General, Commissioner for Human Rights and the Committee of Ministers, said Luc Van den Brande, the head of PACE delegation for the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict.

"We should not focus on the consequences of the war between Georgia and Russia exclusively. It was a signal that other frozen conflicts may flare up any moment," he said, Azeri Trend news agency reports.
