24/06/2026 | 16:07:58 Thank you, Madam Chair. First of all, in these few minutes, I want to thank all of you, colleagues, for providing an extremely high quality of contributions to this debate, which is indeed very, very timely. Of course, many of you underlined the transformative capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) and its pervasiveness. And this transformation can even change the perception of reality, can even change the human being. And many of you underlined this aspect about how to redefine human... 24/06/2026 | 11:20:12 Well, thank you very much, Ms President, and thank you very much colleagues and Minister Kristina KALLAS. Your presence here marks the timely relevance of this report. So it will be very interesting to listen to your intervention.  But I would like to start from a question.

I regret that it has been calendared so late in the day when many colleagues are not present. I say that because I think that in our mission there is just an extreme focus and an extreme resolve to keep the focus on what is happening in Iran. For years now, especially in the last few years, the free world has been horrified to see an unprecedented wave of repression, of violence, directed especially against Iranian... 24/04/2023 | 17:30:54 Thank you. From the beginning of this year, illegal migration in Italy has quadrupled. Thirty-seven thousand migrants have arrived along the Italian coastline, which amounts to about 8 000 kilometres, and the situation is going to worsen in the summer months. The government has declared a state of emergency. Now when it comes to respecting human rights, this is not an exact science, it is a good practice that is made of good laws, good words, good intentions, but also resources and resources...
