22/06/2023 | 18:08:59 Thank you, Mister President. Dear Colleagues, I wish to thank our rapporteur, Mr Paul GAVAN, for his well, accurate, and thus impartial report. We fully support the findings and the recommendations made by Mr GAVAN and hope that this report is given serious consideration in order to guarantee human rights and ensure conditions of peace and security for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh. The current blockade of the Lachin corridor is putting thousands of people’s lives at risk, forcing them to... 21/06/2023 | 20:32:08 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear Colleagues, Allow me to congratulate our Rapporteurs for their work. The death of 600 people some days ago in the sea of Pylos, Greece, on top of more than 25 000 that have already perished in Mediterranean waters during the last decade, reminds us in the most tragic way of our huge responsibilities.

Dear Colleagues, Assessing the functioning of these established mechanisms for the co-operation between the Assembly and other parliaments from the wider region provide us with the opportunity to discuss the partnership's strengths but also – and this is more important – ways to improve its effectiveness.  Granting partnerships for democracy studies has yielded important results on both ends. For our partners... 12/10/2022 | 18:47:30 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear Colleagues, I want to thank Ms Stephanie KRISPER for her report. The fundamental aim of this report, with which we fully agree, is that asylum seekers who have been denied asylum in search of countries, should not in any circumstance be deported to unsafe third countries. I want to also thank and congratulate Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ for an excellent and thorough report, which underlines, first and foremost, that pushbacks have taken worrying proportions. We feel...
