24/06/2026 | 19:03:45 Thank you. Meur ras Chair. International conflicts in Iran, Gaza and Ukraine have seen millions of innocent people suffering from the food security crisis. Since March, agricultural and cereal prices have risen by 3 and 4%, respectively. Disruptions to oil, gas and fertiliser flows through the Strait of Hormuz drove a 46% month-on-month rise in urea prices and increased agricultural prices by 8%, intensifying the affordability crisis. Maize and wheat prices, which were 5 and 11% higher, are... 24/06/2026 | 17:43:59 Thank you. Meur ras, Chair. Friends, we have to be explicit about the situation in Georgia. Georgian Dream, the ruling party, has systematically weaponised the justice system to target and repress opposition parties and peaceful demonstrators. Core state institutions, rather than acting as independent and impartial bodies, are deployed to silence dissent, suppress civil activism and punish independent media through politically motivated prosecutions, censorship and imprisonment.

[Thank you.] Thank you, Mister Vice President, This month, President Trump set out his so-called "Board for Peace". The Board was initially presented as a mechanism to end war in Gaza, but its mandate has already expanded through what President Trump described as "Phase Two". We now see a multilayered structure emerging: a Board for Peace, an executive board, a Gaza‑specific executive board, and an associated technocratic... 02/10/2025 | 16:38:21 Meur Ras. Thank you, Mister President. It is clear now that the shutters of Georgian democracy are closing down faster than any of us had feared. When it comes to civil society, what took Vladimir PUTIN 12 years in Russia has taken barely 12 months in Georgia. The very first time I addressed this assembly in January, I spoke about the existential threat facing Georgian democracy. And since then, while the world looks elsewhere, there's been a rapid escalation of suppression. The increasing...
