22/04/2021 | 10:39:49 Thank you very much. Good morning. In point 30 of the report of Mr Jacques MAIRE, there is an appeal to the Russian delegation to participate constructively in any future work on additional measures relating to this text. Now, to participate in this debate, we have six members of our delegation, who have inscribed. I think that is a confirmation of the fact that we are prepared for an exchange of views. We would like our arguments to be heard out and we would not want this to be a one-sided... 19/04/2021 | 18:53:25 Thank you very much Madam President. Ms Elvira KOVÁCS has worked hard, no doubt about it. I've read the text carefully. The recommendation as well.

"The Assembly welcomes the steps taken by the Azerbaijani authorities in recent years to reform the penitentiary, criminal justice and judicial systems, including the executive order of 2017 and the presidential decree of 2019", end of quote. Now, I think Mr John HOWELL also touched upon that point... 28/01/2020 | 19:34:50 Thank you President. Colleagues, We support this issue as an important issue. But we do not support the content of the resolution for the following reason. We don't think that the Platform is a Convention body and we don't think there is sufficient base for the points made in 9.4. The criticisms made of our legislation.
