22/04/2026 | 18:07:15 Thank you, Madam Chair. The Israeli Knesset adopted the death penalty law on 13 March, introducing mandatory capital punishment for offences in the occupied West Bank. As an observer state, Israel is expected to uphold the Council of Europe's fundamental values, including respect for human rights, rule of law and democratic principles, as well as the abolition of the death penalty. Israel also has obligations under international human rights law, including the International Covenant on Civil... 29/01/2026 | 12:25:12 Thank you, Madam Chair. The Middle East has experienced enormous upheavals and major ruptures in its recent history.

Here, I would like to say a few words about the approach that Europe, and the Council in particular, has taken to this fundamental issue so far. Europe has made a grave mistake with its reaction to the humanitarian tragedy and genocide committed by Israel in Gaza. With its own hands, it does nothing but deepen the great... 30/09/2025 | 11:35:06 Thank you. Dear Chair, Dear colleagues, As I begin my speech, I must emphasise that many of the reservations in the draft in question are vague and abstract. Dialogue is the path to progress. However, it is essential that such dialogue is rooted in fairness, objectivity, and a genuine desire to understand the full context of reality on the ground. We must focus on collaborative, solution-oriented discussions that move beyond political point-scoring and aim to address the issues at hand...
