27/01/2023 | 10:37:54 Thank you very much, Since I will only have thirty seconds to explain my amendment later, I would like to address the issue of codes of conduct here and now. Previous speakers have said how these automated weapons systems are developing incredibly rapidly, and I don't believe we have time for all these legalistic manoeuvres. Rather, we have got to find a straightforward path ahead; we have got to look at how human control can be exercised over these systems and make sure we can do something... 25/01/2023 | 17:52:06 Thank you very much, Mister Chair. Violence has many faces. It can be systematic, economic, psychological, emotional, physical, sexual or any combination you could consider. I want to thank the three rapporteurs.

I also want to thank Ms Penelope DENU from the Secretariat who did a great job on this report as well. It was a great co-operation as always. And let me make three remarks content-wise. First of all, this morning, we appointed the very first male rapporteur on combating violence against women in the history of the Parliamentary Assembly. Mr Even ERIKSEN from Norway will... 24/01/2023 | 10:08:15 Thank you, Mr President. In my report on conflict-related sexual violence, I enshrine a couple of recommendations on different topics, beginning with –of course– prevention. Prevention of sexual violence in conflicts starts long before the war, long before a conflict starts. It starts when it comes to education of soldiers. It starts when we see how the gender balance in an army or in police forces are. That's awareness raising on the possibility of sexual violence is made. I also tackle the...
