02/10/2024 | 18:26:47 I will wait. Now. Okay, sorry for that delay. On behalf of the Group of the Unified European Left, I want to congratulate the two rapporteurs. This important report on Bosnia and Herzegovina highlights concerns regarding several commitments entered into upon its accession to the Council of Europe. It's important to note that Bosnia and Herzegovina has benefited from the co-operation programs of the Council of Europe since 2003. Successive action plans have been implemented covering the... 02/10/2024 | 10:32:35 Thank you, Madam Chairperson. This week we saw the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe at its worst, and at its best.

On behalf of the United European Left, I wish to state our huge concern at the continuing path of the authoritarian Azerbaijan regime towards ever greater levels of oppression towards its own citizens, as well as its appalling treatment of the former citizens of Nagorno-Karabakh and its bellicose and threatening behaviour towards its neighbouring country Armenia. This year both so-called Presidential and Parliamentary elections were held in a manner that would... 01/10/2024 | 16:05:17 Thank you, Mister President. On behalf of the United European left, I want to commend the rapporteurs of both of these reports. And I want to particularly welcome the speech by our new Human Rights Commissioner, who called out very clearly for a human rights compliance migration policy. That's what all of us should be able to agree on in this chamber. The first thing I want to say is that people fleeing conflict are dying, especially in the Mediterranean, en route to Europe due to to a lack...
