03/10/2024 | 16:24:47 Thank you, Mister President, Chers collègues, I could now ask provocatively: do we really need a report that deals exclusively with the rights of queer women? Haven't we already created a comprehensive legal framework for the protection of women with the Istanbul Convention, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity? Ms Béatrice FRESKO-ROLFO's report makes it crystal clear. Yes, we need that. She has worked out in detail how vulnerable and at risk this group of women is. And I... 02/10/2024 | 15:35:18 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, There are very specific rules that the Assembly is obliged to follow upon receipt of a request to waive the immunity of a member of the Assembly. I will therefore briefly outline the procedure to date. Firstly, a request, addressed to the president of the Assembly, from Mr Adam BODNAR, the Minister of Justice and Public Prosecutor General of Poland, was received on 29 September 2024. This request comprised several documents and was submitted by... 25/06/2024 | 16:49:06 Thank you, Mister President, Chères collègues, We are meeting this week for the first time since the European elections on 9 June. An election whose results have deeply affected us, as they clearly show that right-wing and far-right parties have gained support in a large part of Europe. We human rights politicians are very concerned about this. It is therefore particularly important to express our solidarity with those who stand up for our democratic values on a daily basis. The important... 17/04/2024 | 18:36:28 Thank you, Madam President, Chères collègues, Ladies and gentlemen, The human rights of queer people are still being violated on a daily basis and worldwide, including within our ranks. I would like to thank my colleague, Mr Christophe LACROIX, for his comprehensive report on the situation of the queer community. Two years ago in Germany, 25-year-old trans man Malte C. was brutally beaten to death at a CSD parade. He had stood in front of other CSD participants to protect them and paid for it... 26/01/2024 | 10:57:43 Thank you Mr President, dear colleagues, [spoken in French] We are very grateful to Mr. Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ for this very important report. His travels have shown in a shocking way the abuse to which children in Europe were - and in some cases still are - exposed. It is the duty of our member states to recognise, process and make visible violence against children in private, public and religious institutions. The report rightly calls for those affected to be given the necessary financial and...
