26/04/2023 | 17:32:44 Thank you. The recent earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria shocked the world. It is heartbreaking to see the human suffering that can be caused by natural events. And also, I speak out and my thoughts are with the victims and relatives. I thank the rapporteur for conducting this important report at this particularly relevant time. As the rapporteur points out, the topics of natural hazards and disasters risks are becoming even more relevant in the years to come. Climate change makes weather... 25/04/2023 | 17:34:22 Thank you. The European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) is a great good, which deserves to be respected.

In light of this worrying development, I – on behalf of the Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group group – would like to congratulate the rapporteur for his insightful report, and his... 25/01/2023 | 19:49:22 Thank you. I was supposing it would be the same order but nevertheless.

Dear colleagues, Marital captivity, a human rights violation experienced by tens of thousands of people in Europe alone every year. The people are unaware of it, and it is often ignored in public policymaking. Today we have an opportunity to turn that situation around. But first, what is marital captivity? Forced marriage, we know –I'm sure all of you know– is... 25/01/2023 | 10:51:27 Thank you, Chair. The impact of war is enormous. People die by weapons that are used. Both soldiers and civilians. People get wounded by these same weapons. People loose family and friends, people have to leave their home, or what is left of it, or their country. The weapons that are used by the aggressor are not only military weapons. Hunger and cold are used as weapons, as is sexual violence, as we discussed yesterday. But also destroying nature, natural resources and a healthy environment...
