09/04/2025 | 20:10:06 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Let us be clear and bold: The judgments of the European Court of Human Rights are not recommendations. They are legally binding obligations – a cornerstone of the system of human rights protection that the Council of Europe has built over decades. After all, 75 years after its signature, the European Convention on Human Rights is more than a legal document. It is a moral and political commitment to uphold the dignity, liberty, and rights of... 09/04/2025 | 20:01:02 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mayor İmamoğlu’s imprisonment along with numerous other politicians and journalists, after his nomination as presidential candidate, before his trial, is indeed a serious backsliding of democracy in Turkey.

Thank you, Mister Chairman. First of all, let me extend my warmest congratulations to the rapporteur Mr Piero FASSINO for his meticulous work over the course of no less than four years and his in-depth and objective analysis of such a delicate issue. This resolution urges us to revisit one of the last deep scars that the 20th century left on the tortured body of Europe. The Varosha issue is not a minor case, irrelevant to the Cyprus problem, on the contrary it constitutes a vital... 11/10/2023 | 20:03:19 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The illegal wiretapping scandal implicates certain European governments -and unfortunately among them the conservative government of Greece- in the systematic violation of the privacy of the communications of selected individuals, including journalists and politicians.
