Paragraph 13
 

In its “Report on term limits – Part I Presidents”, the Commission analysed the international human rights standards applicable to the imposition of term limits on the re-election of Presidents. These standards also apply to term limits of MPs, representatives elected at sub-national and local level and executive officials elected at the sub-national and local level. Of special relevance are Article 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) on participatory rights, complemented with Articles 2(1) and 26 on the prohibition of discrimination, of ICPPR; Art. 1 of Protocol 12 to European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) on the prohibition of discrimination; as well as Article 23(1b) of the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR) on participatory rights, complemented by Art. 1(1) on the prohibition of discrimination.
