29/01/2026 | 17:11:55 Thank you very much. Up to the beginning of the twentieth century, LGBTQI+ persons were considered as criminals. In 1920, LGBTQI+ persons were then considered as not criminals, but suffering from a mental illness. It was the time when research started on how to best cure this “illness”. In 1987 the American Psychiatric Association declared LGBTQI+ persons as not mentally ill. The World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1990 took homosexuality off the mental diseases list. In 2004, the British... 28/01/2026 | 16:56:43 Thank you, Madam President. I rejoiced at the news of the ceasefire in Gaza. So did we all. Hmm, ceasefire? Since the agreement, around 450 – mainly innocent Palestinians – have been reportedly killed in Gaza. The West Bank has since witnessed the killing of Palestinians by Israeli settlers while grabbing land and eventually building illegal settlements with no intervention to be stopped by the authorities.

It is time for action. I am not in favour of Iran manufacturing a nuclear bomb. Neither am I in favour of other countries harbouring armaments of mass destruction. I am a person who believes that problems can be solved around the table, and any war can be terminated diplomatically if there is goodwill and mutual understanding by all sides. I condemned, I condemn, and I will always condemn what happened on 7 October and the abduction of... 10/04/2025 | 16:16:04 Chair, dear colleagues, May I ask you to close your eyes? Now, I invite you to take yourself to a country, your homeland, an overpopulated land, a land that has been occupied for tens of years. And you dream. You dream of liberty, freedom, and self-government. You also dream of unanimous UN support for your fellow citizens and your country and the eventual adherence to the UN resolution by all sides. The resistance in you is no excuse for what happened on 7 October 2023, the attack by Hamas...
