27/06/2019 | 11:19:24 Thank you, President. Migrants are vulnerable, but migrant children are much more vulnerable so we need to step up protection measures for these minors. And this is the aim of this report, for which I would like to commend the rapporteurs, particularly as it aims to strengthen legislative measures to protect migrant children. I would like to flag up one aspect of this report. Measures taken to establish how old a child is so that they can receive additional protection. Any system which aims... 25/06/2019 | 18:25:00 I would like to draw your attention to one of the articles in the Istanbul Convention, Article 36, which establishes the principle of consent: prior consent to sexual relations as the basis for determining whether there has been a sexual assault.

It is a condition for social interaction and participation. It is a right that underpins individual citizens’ dignity. However, despite the fact that it is a recognised human right, in many cases it is not... 22/01/2019 | 18:36:29 One can say that the Cairo Declaration intends to contribute a vision of human rights in majority-Muslim societies. That is fine, as long as we understand that secularity is a characteristic of Western societies. The normalisation of the integration of minority religions is to be accepted, but the practices of such religions should be compatible with civil legislation as it exists in the West. Human rights can of course be part of majority-Muslim societies; that is wonderful. The fundamental...
