10/04/2025 | 17:28:00 Thank you, Mister President. The creation of the European Political Community by French President Emmanuel MACRON raises a number of questions as to its necessity and legitimacy. Some of these questions are addressed in the report before us, but others deserve to be examined in greater detail. If the aim of the EPC was to discuss economic issues or military co-operation, the OSCE already offered an appropriate framework. If the objective was to discuss issues relating to human rights... 10/04/2025 | 17:05:07 Thank you, Mister President. Over three weeks ago, Israel deliberately broke the ceasefire with a massive bombardment of the Gaza Strip. Since then, thousands of Gazans have been killed, the majority of them women and children, and several hundred wounded. More than 50 000 civilians, including 20 000 children, have been killed by Israel in the genocidal war it has been waging in Gaza for eighteen months now. These massacres, in addition to the weeks-long embargo on humanitarian aid and the... 08/04/2025 | 18:57:51 Thank you, Mister Chairman.

This report falls far short of these criteria because it adopts a selective, partisan approach, focusing almost exclusively on Russian interference, while ignoring the well-documented interference of NATO members, North Americans and Europeans. Who can forget the role of the United States in... 28/01/2025 | 19:43:01 Thank you, Madam President. In 1532, Machiavelli was already urging us to be wary of mercenaries: the author of The Prince stated that mercenary troops are "uncertain, unfaithful and dangerous". Today, we say no different. Since the end of the Cold War, the use of private actors has grown steadily; security is increasingly privatised. We all have in mind the example of the Russian group Wagner, but let's not forget North American companies such as Blackwater, operating especially in...
