Interventions

26/06/2025 | 11:06:03 Thank you so much. First of all, I want to thank all the interventions that have been made in this Plenary, including all those that do not present any answers to this dramatic situation. And they don't have an approach, which could be called a human approach to the situation. I think that if we could stop wars and repression and climate change, and poverty, migrations would diminish. They will never stop. Because, since the beginning of humanity, migration has been part of our identity, of... 26/06/2025 | 10:06:40 Thank you Chairman, Dear Colleagues, One of the biggest tragedies happened in the central Mediterranean 10 years ago, one of the deadliest routes in the world. Around 1 000 migrants died or disappeared in the sea in a journey from Libya to Lampedusa. Two years ago, the Adriana vessel sank off the Greek coast of Pylos, causing the death of more than 600 people. Just some days ago, IOM reported two more shipwrecks in the central Mediterranean, with at least 60 people dead or missing off the... 08/04/2025 | 19:44:20 Dear colleagues, This report gives a very important contribution to eliminate a grey zone that makes possible the violation of international law and human rights without accountability or consequences.

Many died before arriving at borders, in land or at sea... 01/10/2024 | 16:08:30 Thank you Chair, dear colleagues, These two reports, on missing migrants and on migrant smuggling, deal with very complex and sensitive domains, where the violation of human rights are permanent, with much violence and loss of lives. Smuggling migrants is an attractive criminal activity because it has a huge economical return and is not easy to fight, because it often happens beyond our borders and has the complicity of corrupt state authorities and security forces. But instead of closing our... 12/10/2023 | 16:12:04 Dear collegues, The war against Ukraine can not last for eternity. At some point, it must finish, and we should effectively start paving the way for peace and stability in our continent. That vital task requires the same energy and creativity that we have put in to create the United Nations, European Union and the Council of Europe, to ensure lasting peace, security, democracy, and prosperity. This report reminds us that, in spite of the dangerous turbulence in several parts of the world, the...
