24/06/2026 | 11:41:41 Thank you, Madam Chair. And above all, thank you, Minister, for your excellent speech. Estonia is a model country when it comes to the development of e-services in public administration. Artificial intelligence is transforming the world at breakneck speed, both in our daily lives and in warfare. The development of AI systems requires particular attention to respect for human dignity, transparency and accountability. It is essential to conduct a comprehensive review of the need to regulate the... 23/04/2026 | 10:52:39 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, Today, we are addressing a very important issue. Right from the start of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, this Assembly demanded that a Special Tribunal be set up to ensure the responsibility of the aggressor.

This had already happened in 1906. Now I'm concerned about the state of democracy in many parts of Europe. The parliamentary elections... 28/01/2025 | 19:51:23 Madam President, congratulations. Dear colleagues, It seems clear that the private military and security companies (PMSC) sector is marked by a significant regulatory vacuum. Despite their capacity to seriously undermine human rights and democracy and erode the rule of law PMSCs are only subject to soft law or voluntary self-regulation. However, it should be stressed that PMSCs can also pursue important objectives. They provide much-needed expertise and resources to humanitarian and...
