The Council of Europe has 46 member countries and includes the European Court of Human Rights. It is not a part of the European Union institutions.
The institution’s 306-strong parliament will cast their ballots on who should lead the organization in late June. The new secretary general is expected to start Sep. 18.
Reynders, a Belgian liberal politician from the French-speaking Reformist Movement party, lost the race for the job of secretary general at the Council of Europe in 2019 to Croatian politician and current Secretary General Marija Pejčinović Burić.
