The imprisonment of Ekrem İmamoğlu and the numerous other mayors and journalists from the opposition parties is a direct attack on the fundamental democratic values to which Turkey has committed itself not only through... 02/10/2024 | 10:16:42 Thank you, Madam Chair, I'm gonna speak in German.

Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, which is contrary to international law, is spreading death, misery and suffering... 13/10/2023 | 12:44:31 Yes, thank you, Mister President, colleagues, As this Report clearly shows, since the Taliban came to power, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated dramatically, especially for women and girls, who are now largely excluded from public life.
