01/10/2024 | 11:43:54 Mr President, First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks for the many positive comments on this report from all political groups, but I would like to pass on their praise straight away, namely to the Secretariat, to Mr Francisco CABRERA and Mr Roberto FASINO on the one hand, but also to the mover of this declaration, who is no longer a colleague, Ms Tonia ANTONIAZZI, who took the decisive step for this report. I would actually like to thank everyone, including those who spoke on... 01/10/2024 | 10:11:49 Thank you, Mister President.

The Progress Report reports on everything that has happened here between April and June during the reporting period - among other things, other countries have named their judges; and we will soon have three out of four of them here for the... 18/04/2024 | 19:03:06 Thank you very much, Mr President, I would like to follow on from Mr George LOUCAIDES, who cried and spoke quite clearly here; this is genocide - genocide against the Palestinian population. And one can say that in recent history there has hardly ever been such brutality as we are experiencing in the current Gaza Strip. This is a war against children and against women. That is the majority of the people killed and starved to death there. This can certainly be described as genocide and a...
