28/06/2024 | 10:20:42 Thank you, Mister Chairperson. On behalf of the Group of the Unified European Left, I want to congratulate the rapporteur on an excellent report on a topic that deserves a much higher billing on this week's schedule. The key theme of safeguarding human rights for future generations has never been more important given the global threats of war, climate change and the political drift to tooth-and-claw capitalism and authoritarian right-wing governments across so much of Europe. There are two... 27/06/2024 | 20:02:03 Chair, I'm very grateful to you, thank you very much. This is an issue that's close to my heart as an Irish Republican. For decades, during the years of conflict in the north of my country, Sinn Féin representatives, including elected representatives, were banned from the airwaves of all broadcast media in the south of Ireland.

Yes, it is genocide.” Here we are, nine months into a... 27/06/2024 | 17:36:09 Thank you very much, Mister Chairperson. I want to begin by congratulating the rapporteur on an excellent piece of work and a very timely report. I want to give particular mention to mister Mr Domagoj HAJDUKOVIĆ, who was a fine member of this Assembly and a particularly active member of the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons. He deserves great credit for the work on this report. It may be important to point out that the key themes of this report apply to a number of... 26/06/2024 | 10:54:42 Thank you, Mr President. I want to congratulate all three rapporteurs. As the last speaker said, it's very difficult to actually respond to all three reports in just three minutes. I'm probably going to focus on the the report on sanctions because I have a particular interest in that issue. Just to be clear, first and foremost, Russia's war on Ukraine is a blatant breach of international law and a full-scale aggression of the Russian military against the people of Ukraine and it has to be...
