02/10/2024 | 16:16:56 Thank you very much, Mister President, First of all, I want to recognise how the president of the Assembly, Mr Theodoros ROUSOPOULOS and the Secretariat, have accomplished their difficult duty and been an example of respect, [with regards to] the right of the members of the assembly and the proceedings of this institution. Also, the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs has acted in a very professional way, analysing the requests made by the competent authority... 01/10/2024 | 18:53:09 Thank you very much, Mister President.

It lies at the heart of responsible governance. The Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights welcomes the timely report prepared by our former colleague Mr Pedro CEGONHO and the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development. Our rapporteur for opinion... 26/06/2024 | 18:08:05 President,  I would like to start by congratulating Lord Richard KEEN, our rapporteur, for this extraordinary report because unfortunately, perpetual peace which Immanuel Kant wrote about, was nothing more than a pub in Königsberg or which exists in cemeteries.  Throughout the 20th century, Europe has been a continent torn apart by conflicts and wars that divided our societies. The end of Fukuyama's story did not bring the end of conflicts either, indeed, it was quite the opposite.  Since...
