31/01/2020 | 11:56:15 Thank you, Mr President. Ladies and Gentlemen, This is a report, a resolution, which deals with a very key issue of human rights and, above all, of human dignity. At the same time, it is an appeal to all our member States to sign the Council of Europe Convention on Combating and Preventing Organ Transplant Tourism, which has been in force since 2018. We currently have only 9 signatures, and this Council of Europe Convention is the only instrument of international law. It is one of the... 30/01/2020 | 18:39:39 Thank you very much! This progress report from the Monitoring Committee -- it is a tradition that it is presented in January -- and I think that it shows, quite impressively, the immense amount of work that our colleagues do as rapporteurs. I remember back when I was the chair of the Monitoring Committee and we had to find a rapporteur for Ukraine. We calculated how long someone had spent in Ukraine overall to prepare the report, and it totalled three months of the time of intense crisis... 30/01/2020 | 17:14:47 Thank you, Mr President.

For example, in forced prostitution, the passports of the victims are taken away; such victims... 30/01/2020 | 11:34:09 Thank you, Mr. Chairman Well, I can remember when the rapporteur for Azerbaijan sat here in the front row, and Mr Strasser, as rapporteur for political prisoners. It was scandalous that the rapporteur for Azerbaijan called on the House to vote against the report on political prisoners. It was outrageous and scandalous. I am rapporteur for the Monitoring Committee on Azerbaijan and I appeal to you to adopt this excellent report by our rapporteur today. I think this would be a very important... 30/01/2020 | 11:02:31 Thank you, Mr President, Thank you for the debate. Above all, however, I would like to thank the Social Committee, which unanimously adopted this resolution, and no amendment was tabled before the deadline. In this respect, I am somewhat saddened by a few dark speeches here; especially in the House of Human Rights, but I did say at the beginning of the debate: let us try and get away from the issue of parents and see only the best interests of the child. And, yes, it is like this: no child is...
