22/06/2023 | 19:40:06 Thank you Mister Chairman, In paragraph 17 we suggest replacing the words "consequences of the absence of free and safe access through" with the phrase "situation concerning". The European Court of Human Rights and International Court of Justice don't use the phrase "free and safe". The ECHR uses the phrase "safe access" and the International Court of Justice, "unimpeded movement". None of them means free movement. Freedom of movement is not an absolute right. Every European Convention... 22/06/2023 | 19:19:11 Dear Chairman, It is again about the addition of another paragraph, after paragraph 8, which again remains as it is.

He is... 25/04/2023 | 17:48:53 Thank you Madam Chair, First of all, let me express my personal gratitude to the rapporteur. This is a very good report. We discussed it in the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Before continuing what I have in mind to say about this report, let me briefly comment on what our distinguished colleague from Armenia just said. I am personally very glad that Armenia and Azerbaijan took their disputes to the international courts now. Had we have done that 30 years before, we could...
