Unified European Left Group

Unified European Left Group (UEL) is a group in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, formed by 34 MPs from various leftwing parties in 16 countries. Tiny Kox (Netherlands) is the president of the group, Andrej Hunko (Germany), Ioanetta Kavvadia (Greece) and Pablo Bustinduy (Spain) are vice-presidents of the group.[1]

The UEL operates in the framework set out by PACE: to promote and protect human rights, rule of law and democracy.
