09/04/2025 | 20:10:04 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear Madam Chair, Ladies and Gentlemen, Today, we are discussing how to ensure that the values of the European Convention on Human Rights are not just ideals on paper but real safeguards in our lives.

Very few attorneys had the courage to follow their professional duty and represent the accused before that politically-motivated Court.

It is very true that quality history education is particularly important for understanding the conflicting nuances of the past and the complexities of the present.
