Robert "Bob" John Walter (born 30 May 1948) is a British-Turkish Conservative Party politician.

He was president of the Berlin Security Conference in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and remains a member of the BSC Steering Board.

In December 2002, he faced a no-confidence vote, which was overwhelmingly defeated, from a group of Eurosceptics in his local party, over his pro-European views.

[2] In November 2010, Walter was appointed by the prime minister, David Cameron, to head the United Kingdom delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

[3] Walter was first appointed as an ordinary member of the assembly in 2002 and has previously chaired its committee dealing with media issues and freedom of the press.

In February 2000, he introduced the Sex Discrimination (Amendment) Bill, which failed to make progress.

He held that post until the WEU was wound up, and the legal basis for the Assembly, the "modified" Brussels Treaty, ended in June 2011.

He has publicly defended some of these countries' democratic progress,[5] and has criticised the Azerbaijani government for its human rights record.
