Organisational matters CPT membership 133. As at 31 December 2014, the CPT has 46 members. The seat in respect of Slovenia is currently vacant. Twenty-eight of the CPT’s members are men and 18 are women. Consequently, the proportion of women among the CPT’s membership falls short of 40%. It is recalled that Resolution 1540 of the Parliamentary Assembly stipulates that a list of candidates which does not include at least one man and one woman will be rejected, except when all candidates on the list are of the sex under-represented in the CPT (i.e. less than 40%). The Committee therefore hopes that future lists of candidates will include more women. 134.
