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 | 13:21:00 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Honourable colleagues: As parliamentarians, we must always be sensitive to the potential for discrimination in public policies.

And in the UK... 13/10/2022 | 12:28:40 Mr President, we stand today in solidarity against Mr Vladimir Putin's grotesque escalation of missile attacks launched to the cities across Ukraine, from Belarus, from Russia, from the Caspian Sea, from Crimea.
