25/01/2023 | 13:06:33 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) A safe and healthy environment is a human right and therefore those who breach that right, in particular on a mass scale during wartime as an act of ecocide, must be legally accountable in an international court of law. So this Council of Europe imitative for a convention and treaty to help deliver environmental justice and to help pay to repair the damage is welcome. The devastation of habitats, species and our natural environment must... 14/10/2022 | 10:28:35 Mr President, It's a great pleasure to stand here and support this fantastic report. The bottom line is that trade union and worker rights are critically important if we're all to share the benefits, the maximum benefits, from a stronger, fairer and greener economy in an electronic age.
