In this paper, the author expresses his concerns over recent trends that have led the Council of Europe to be inconsistent with its own functioning and pillars on which it is based (human rights, democracy and the rule of law). In the first part, the author relates this concern to the excessive bureaucratization and to an inconsistency with the respect for the rule of law in international procedures. The second part illustrates this concern with regrettable episodes (concerning the modification of the rules of procedure or the election of representative bodies) which the Conference of INGOs within the Council of Europe has been involved in. Finally, the author reflects on the need to strengthen the pillars of the Council of Europe by reducing the democratic deficit in its internal functioning.
