22/04/2026 | 17:30:43 Thank you, Madam Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen, I congratulate the rapporteur on the quality of this report. The death penalty has no place in a society founded on human dignity, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights. Long before Europe established itself as a continent free of capital punishment, my country, Portugal, had already understood that the state could not dispense justice for the execution. It was a civilisational choice. We were one of the first countries in the... 21/04/2026 | 16:49:48 Thank you, Mister President, Colleagues, Allow me first to congratulate our rapporteur, Ms Elisabetta GARDINI, for the clarity and relevance of her report, and I also congratulate the rapporteur for opinion. Political violence is not something new to our time. History reminds us of this. John KENNEDY was shot dead in the year 1963, before the eyes of the world.

Chairman, colleagues, The draft protocol amending the Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism reflects our shared responsibility to respond to a changing threat landscape. Over the past year, many countries have faced a rise in cyberattacks targeting hospitals and public services, while security services have disrupted planned attacks on transport networks and places of worship. The revised Convention addresses these evolving risks. It introduces a... 24/06/2025 | 16:32:43 Thank you. Chairman, colleagues, I wish to thank the rapporteurs for their work on the reports of this joint debate. The Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine is a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and of the Geneva Conventions. Thousands of atrocities have been committed with impunity: torture, sexual violence, summary executions, indiscriminate shelling of civilians and the illegal deportation of children.
