25/06/2025 | 20:42:59 Thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues, first of all, I would like to extend my gratitude to Saskia for her outstanding work. Like her previous contributions, this report holds great significance for the policy recommendations and decisions of our Assembly. I believe the issue of justice brought to the Agenda through the concept of just transition in the report is of great importance. We must pay attention to the disparities in development between countries and regions, as well as the... 25/06/2025 | 18:57:09 First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur. This report is of great importance both in terms of its timing and its content. Social mobilisation has been on the agenda since the earliest days of democratic politics.

Dear colleagues, The topic of our session is free debate, but I want to inform you about some people I know in my country, Türkiye, who are not free. You are all well aware of Mr Osman KAVALA who who remains imprisoned, despite two rulings by the European Court of Human Rights and our Parliamentary Assembly calling for his immediate release. Similarly, Mr... 29/01/2025 | 11:46:12 History education should be a key part of human rights education and a foundation for young people to develop democratic citizenship, which is based on the respect for different opinions, pluralism, tolerance, and diversity. In our Committee, we strongly believe that multiperspectivity and the appropriate handling of controversial and sensitive issues in history lessons can be a powerful tool to support peace and reconciliation in our societies. However, delivering quality history education...
