13/10/2023 | 12:37:13 Dear Mr President, Dear colleagues, The present Report is honorable and expresses our irrepressible will to work tirelessly as the Human Rights Council to ensure that human rights are universal and applied everywhere on earth. Unfortunately, several important aspects are not mentioned in this Report. From the protracted Afghanistan mission of the last decades we have to draw the painful realization that it is not possible to establish democracy and human rights in places it is absolutely not... 23/06/2023 | 11:57:48 Madam President, Dear colleagues, Some 63% of the world's population has access to the internet.

These are the obligations of every individual and every government. To stand equal before the law, tolerance, social integration, and diversity have to be... 13/10/2022 | 18:37:47 Mister President, Dear colleagues, Ladies and gentlemen, Women's sports deserve the highest recognition because they help girls and women gain self-esteem and self-efficacy, the drivers of emancipation and lived equality. Anything that helps to make women's sports a safer place for women and girls is to be supported. Sport also does a great job as a catalyst for integration. In sports, gender, ancestry, language, and religious or political views play no role. This is a great achievement for...
