29/01/2026 | 13:06:53 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear Colleagues, The right to self-determination together with the right of peoples and states to determine their own futures free from external interference is a core principle of international law. In reality, almost the totality of the problems and misery in the Middle East comes as a result of the denial of the principle of self determination at the beginning of the 20th century. At the same time, colonialism and foreign intervention... 09/04/2025 | 19:51:02 Thank you. I wish to thank all the interventions. And what comes out from the interventions is that it is obvious that we need a stronger political will. Governments must treat judgments as opportunities to prove, to reform, and to progress. The second is that national parliaments need to play a more active role in overseeing implementation. Transparency, accountability, and civil society participation are crucial.

Thank you, Mister President. As rightly stated by the President of the Parliamentary Assembly, Mr Theodoros ROUSOPOULOS, whilst we are all aware of the immunities accorded to us as members of the Assembly, this is the first time that such a matter comes before the Assembly. And importantly, we should welcome the fact that Mr Marcin ROMANOWSKI's immunity as a member of the Assembly was recognised and respected by the authorities. This was not obviously going to be the case when the... 02/10/2024 | 10:27:27 Thank you for this very revealing report. This must be a wake-up call. The ASSANGE case must truly be a wake-up call for the future in the face of the suppression of political freedoms for European citizens in the name of an abusive political correctness. The unfair treatment of Mr Julian ASSANGE is shocking. This is an obstacle to the defence of human rights, and especially media freedom and freedom of information. Mr Julian ASSANGE was instrumentalised in order to create a climate of fear...
