Mister Chairman, Mister rapporteur, Ladies and gentlemen, I take the floor today on behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe to express our firm support for the European Union's accession to the European Convention on Human Rights.

Ladies and gentlemen, Before getting to the heart of the matter, I'd like to say why I'm so passionate about this subject, and why I consider it fundamental in the world as it is and as it is evolving before our very eyes. For the simple reason that we can no longer afford to live divided, each in his own corner, sure of his point of view against his neighbours, but faced with geographical, economic, technological and now military giants. There are various reasons... 28/01/2025 | 12:44:14 Thank you, Madam President. Madam rapporteur, dear Dora, Mister President of the European Court of Human Rights, Ladies and gentlemen, Eighty years after the liberation of the camps, which we commemorated yesterday here in Strasbourg at the Council of Europe, and after the end of the Second World War, the world seems set to plunge once again into the abyss.
