23/04/2026 | 12:44:31 Thank you President. But I believe – I thank all those who have spoken – that they have all spoken with one voice. War does not create any solution; on the contrary, it aggravates a condition of chaos and international anarchy, and law is the only compass to give peace and stability to the continent and in the various theatres of conflict today. Rights are inalienable, non-negotiable. That is why we condemned Hamas and condemn the Iranian regime and, for the same reason, we denounce the... 23/04/2026 | 11:24:55 Thank you Mr. President, I will speak in Italian. The entire Middle East, from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf, is, as we know, in the throes of a devastating fire, which is causing the entire world anguish over possible catastrophic events. And the lesson we must learn is that, without a political strategy, the unilateral use of force and weapons does not lead to solutions, but sows chaos and increases a condition of international anarchy, as Pope LEO XIV accurately reminded us of. We... 23/04/2026 | 10:43:01 Thank you, President. I will speak in Italian. I thank my colleague Mr Frank SCHWABE for his introduction. We have listened to our Ukrainian friends, who have conveyed to us their anguish, their dramatic situation. They are soon approaching five years since the war started.

My question derives from your speech, because we know that Bosnia and Herzegovina is an entity made up of three communities and two state entities. This division, in the 30 years that separate us from the Dayton Accords, has actually resulted in a rigid ethnic management of all institutions that has often resulted in a paralysis of institutions. How do you intend to overcome these obstacles? You have spoken a lot about it but, concretely... 21/04/2026 | 18:52:03 Thank you, President. First of all, I would like to express my appreciation for the report by Mr Francesco VERDUCCI, which seemed to me to have solid arguments and a framework that we can only agree with. I would like to draw your attention, in the few seconds of my speech, to one of the aspects of discrimination that we are currently experiencing, and that is the uprising of anti-Semitism in many places all over the world. Now, we are well aware that these phenomena of anti-Semitism are very...
