Presidency of the Committee of Ministers

From November 2023 to May 2024, Liechtenstein held the Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. The Presidency rotates every six months between the Member States of the Council of Europe. An alphabetical order by country name is followed on a rotational basis. The Presidency is therefore part of the responsibility of each member state of the Council of Europe. Liechtenstein has chaired the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe three times to date (1987, 2001 and 2024).

All information on the Presidency and the Presidency Programme as well as the events in Liechtenstein and Strasbourg can be found on the website europarat.li.
