The Venice Commission is the Council of Europe's advisory body on constitutional matters. The Commission's task is to provide legal advice to member states and, in particular, to assist states that wish to bring their legal and institutional structures into line with European standards and international experience in the fields of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
