01/10/2024 | 18:03:12 Mister President, I share the views of the previous speaker in saying it's important that we should support the implementation of the values of the Council of Europe. And I think it's a pity, therefore, that we are not able to have a dialogue with parliamentarians from Azerbaijan during this debate and more widely within this Assembly. And whilst I share many of the concerns expressed by Ms Lise CHRISTOFFERSEN in her opening remarks, I don't think that we should be singling out Azerbaijan and... 12/10/2023 | 19:42:10 Thank you, Mister President. On 29 October Türkiye will be celebrating the centenary of its foundation as a modern democracy with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. What better way could President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan mark this centenary than by releasing Mr Osman Kavala and thereby helping to reestablish Türkiye's commitment to the rule of law?

A number of issues have arisen, one being the definition of transnational repression. All I can say is that the report calls for more work to be done on this. I think for most people, when they are confronted with it, they know that it is transnational repression. I wouldn't be too hung up on the definitions. I'm grateful to my two colleagues from the UK Parliament who are members of the Socialist Group... 23/06/2023 | 10:04:35 ...to serve under your Chairmanship. I don't think there is any doubt about the fact that transnational repression is indeed a growing threat to the rule of law and human rights. This was brought home to us in the United Kingdom with Mr Alexander Litvinenko's case and the Salisbury poisonings. My report, the draft Resolution and the draft Recommendation were adopted unanimously by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights at its meeting in Cyprus.
