23/06/2023 | 10:43:44 Thank you, Mister President. To follow Ms Zeynep YILDIZ, I just gently point out that winning an election does not mean human rights are dissolved; it means that those rights carry on whether somebody has won the election or not. The issues are about the right of people to express themselves, the right of journalists to be able to report what is going on. I welcome the report that we have got in front of us today. I particularly want to draw attention to the issue of the freedom of speech and... 22/06/2023 | 20:02:38 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I totally condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the appalling consequences of the war, which mean we’re debating these reports today. Sporting boycotts are a difficult area for any organisation to be involved with – and if we persist with a sporting boycott that prevent Russian and Belarusian athletes from competing in international events, then we will be debating sporting boycotts for any other incident around the world in the present... 21/06/2023 | 19:47:14 Thank you, Madam President, It is good fortune to follow our friend who has just spoken. I couldn't, again, disagree with him more. It's as though the whole speaking arrangements have been designed to make us a double act.

When he talks about criminal gangs that are involved in people smuggling and people trafficking, yes, there are people... 21/06/2023 | 17:56:06 Hello. I couldn't disagree more with the speaker who's just addressed this Assembly than I intended to do now. Frankly, it was racist hate speech against people who've made their homes in this continent in order to survive, to avoid human rights abuses, and the effects of wars, and have made a massive contribution to our world, to our community, and to our society. I would like to take our Hungarian friend to my own community, where I'm proud to represent a constituency where there are 100... 25/04/2023 | 20:03:07 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I am very grateful to Mr George KATROUGALOS for his presentation today and the excellent draft resolution that is before us. This debate goes to the very heart of the whole principles of the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights. They were both far sighted creations of a post-war generation determined to protect human rights across Europe and have had a very beneficial effect on the rights of citizens and...
