01/10/2024 | 16:53:04 Thank you very much. You will be delighted to hear, ladies and gentlemen, but I don't really have a great deal more to add. I do have some observations. I think, if the efforts over the years of organisations like this, in putting together human rights legislation and standards for refugees and migrants were mirrored by the same degree of effort and co-operation and resources by nation states and groups of nation states into prevention, we would not find ourselves in the situation we are in... 01/10/2024 | 15:45:52 Thank you very much, Mister President. Dear colleagues and Commissioner for Human Rights, it's a privilege to speak before you today about some of the issues around migrant smuggling which are fuelling the angry and often divisive dialogue of the deaf in our national and international political debates, particularly in this year of elections.

I'd like to start off by thanking the rapporteur for a very timely report. I first had the pleasure of going to Ukraine as part of the monitoring team from the Council of Europe in 2019.

I wonder if Mr Sergei Tikhanovsky realises quite how lucky he is to have you as his wife.

And the diaspora of Belarusians who are in exile is essential for keeping the spirit of the real Belarus alive. They... 22/06/2022 | 10:35:48 Thank you very much. First of all, I would like to thank Ms Petra BAYR and Ms Ute STEYER in particular for a very interesting discourse. I have three reasons for speaking to you here this morning. First, the principle itself, which I think is self-evident. Antisemitism is clearly wrong. Secondly, personal: on my mother's side, one of my great grandfathers, in the wake of Kristallnacht in 1938, put his name at the head of a petition to raise money to get Kindertransport children out of Germany...
