All proposals for parliamentary resolutions by Citizens' proposals

In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Citizens' proposal – introduced in the Danish Parliament by 15 members from 15 parties and groups
  • What is proposed: The proposal invites the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) to vote on allowing researchers at DIIS to quote security-cleared statements from the Foreign Policy Committee (Det Udenrigspolitiske Nævn) in the inquiry into Afghanistan 2001-2021.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal concerns members of the Foreign Policy Committee and ministers who have made statements in the committee about Afghanistan. It applies only to the inquiry into Afghanistan.
  • When: The proposal has not been adopted yet. A proposal for a parliamentary resolution is not an act and does not change the rules by itself. If the Danish Parliament adopts it, it is usually a call on the government to act.

What the proposal says:

  • Researchers at DIIS must be able to quote all statements and records from the committee's meetings that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has security-cleared.
  • Statements are quoted by name of the members and ministers who made them, to the extent the researchers find it relevant. Each individual member or minister does not need to give separate consent.
  • If the inquiry has already been published in a quote-censored form, the unedited, security-screened version must be published within the same deadline.
  • The Speaker of the Folketing must take the necessary measures (arrangement), including conveying the Folketing's consent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the consent scheme.
