| 3rd Summit of the Council of Europe |
Member countries of the Council of Europe agreed on 8 July 2004 to hold a Summit of Heads of State and Government on 16 and 17 May 2005 in Warsaw,
at the invitation of the Polish Government.
The Summit will be the third to be organised by the Council of Europe.
The first took place in Vienna in 1993,
following the fall of communism and the development of new democracies in central and eastern Europe.
The second Summit,
held in Strasbourg in 1997,
gave a new impetus to human rights protection,
including the decision to set up a Human Rights Commissioner for Europe.
Since the first Summit in Vienna,
the Council has doubled in size.
It now has 46 member countries and covers a Europe of around 800 million citizens.
