25/01/2023 | 11:16:00 Thank you, Mister Chairperson. I want to begin by warmly welcoming this report and congratulating the rapporteur Mr John HOWELL. There is an awful lot of detailed research here. I think it is important to recognise that work. I think the key message from your report is that the International Criminal Court now needs to move to call for the international recognition of the crime of ecocide. As we know, they currently exercise jurisdiction of crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide and... 24/01/2023 | 17:51:57 Thank you, madam chairperson. I want to begin by congratulating my Irish colleague Ms Fiona O'LOUGHLIN for the excellent job she's completed on this very comprehensive report.

The first is platform working. As you know, platform workers don't get a pension, they don't get sick leave, they don't get paternity leave or maternity leave, they don't get redundancy. You can see lines of food delivery workers in Dublin queuing... 13/10/2022 | 16:50:47 Thanks indeed, Mister Chairperson. On behalf of the United European Left, I want to warmly welcome this report and indeed congratulate the rapporteur. This report is both timely and crucial because today this assembly gets the opportunity to send a clear and hopefully united message to the British government regarding the absolute need to respect human rights, respect the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights, protect the Good Friday agreements, and refrain from taking unilateral...
