give strong support to such a proposal, but it is also desirable to arrange consultations with other political parties in the parliament to ensure the widest possible support. An easier path may be to incorporate the plan in a government or presidential decree. Depending on the country concerned, this will probably have different legal force from legislation as such. It will go beyond endorsement by the head of State or government, which is envisaged in any case as essential to the process of developing and implementing the plan. A third approach in this area is to seek parliamentary endorsement of the plan rather than specific legislation. Once again this goes beyond endorsement by relevant political leaders in public statements, since it involves a specific parliamentary debate and an act of endorsement of the plan. Such a step is easier in legal terms than enacting legislation to give effect to the plan. If possible, it is desirable for the coordinating committee to propose such a step, as it would give a substantive stimulus to effective implementation of the plan. 71
