30/09/2021 | 10:04:19 Thank you, Madam President. I want to welcome for the most part this report, and fair play to Tony putting it together so quickly. But I have to say there is something kind of fundamental missing. Call me old-fashioned, if you will, but I think it's still wrong to invade other people's countries and occupy them for 20 years. I think we seem to have lost sight of that somehow here. We need to talk about responsibility when we talk about Afghanistan. A number of Council of Europe member states... 28/09/2021 | 13:05:23 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I want to commend the Rapporteur and support this resolution.

It was absolutely tragic. I'm sure my colleagues in Azerbaijan could have shown me a similar... 27/09/2021 | 16:31:39 Madam chairperson, dear colleagues, First I want to thank both delegations for the immense amount of work to facilitate my report and to visit their countries, Armenia in May and Azerbaijan in July. I regret I was not able to visit the conflict region. This affects the quality of the report without a doubt, and issues of access to what we call grey zones must be sorted out for the future. I've tried to avoid politics and keep to the humanitarian and linked human rights concerns. My report, as... 24/06/2021 | 16:59:25 Good afternoon, I want to warmly congratulate my friend and comrade Mr Momodou Malcolm JALLOW on this excellent report. I believe it will be historic when we pass this report today and absolutely essential. It's long overdue from the Council of Europe to acknowledge the link between contemporary racism and colonial history enslavements and the transatlantic slave trade. I can't emphasise enough just how important I think the issue of education is in this regard. When I grew up in England...
