28/06/2024 | 10:55:33 Thank you very much, Mr President, Mr Simon MOUTQUIN quite rightly mentioned in his introduction that the Council of Europe is part of a larger multilateral system. And I would like to mention the United Nations in two different ways. Firstly, you probably know that the Summit of the Future will take place in New York in September this year, which of course also has future generations specifically in mind in the document that has been presented so far. And what I found very interesting is... 27/06/2024 | 18:26:47 The Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group condemns the atrocities committed by Hamas on the 7 October and afterwards, and it calls for the immediate release of the Israeli hostages. Our group also welcomes calls for a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas given the thousands of innocent victims and the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. Our group shares the vision of lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians. We recognise that Hamas is the catalyst for the... 26/06/2024 | 10:57:58 Thank you, President. For the prosecution of a great many atrocities that are currently taking place in Russia, if it is individuals who are to be prosecuted, it will be the International Criminal Court that will play a central role in the prosecution. Just this week, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against the Russian army chief Valery Gerasimov and the former defence minister Sergei Shoigu for alleged war crimes. And I would like to remind you that in 2023, the... 25/06/2024 | 18:01:37 And to come to a third point, I am very grateful for Mr Georgios STAMATIS, from the Group of the European People's Party, who mentioned that it's so important to really implement the judgements of the Court of Human Rights and I would like to take this occasion to invite you all to a side event that we have tomorrow at 1 p.m. in Room 3 and it's exactly on how we can improve and what is the role of the Parliamentary Assembly to improve the implementation of judgements of the Court. I hope that... 25/06/2024 | 17:59:35 Thank you very much, Mister President. Before I reply, let me thank you first of all for this really very rich and sometimes also diverse debate. I think it shows that the Report was really timely and necessary. And secondly let me thank Elodie for the great co-operation and the support for this Report: it wouldn't be there without your support. I would like to tackle three things that were mentioned. And first of all, thanks to all of you who mentioned issues which I did not because I didn't... 25/06/2024 | 16:34:16 Don't dare. Don't dare to speak out, as I know where your kids go to school. Don't dare to disturb the natural order. We know where you live and we will come and rape you. Don't dare to spread your crazy ideas, you silly, ugly, useless creature. Threats against women human rights defenders differ from ordinary threats against other individuals or groups who act in a peaceful and legal way to promote and protect human rights. The threats against women human rights defenders target their... 24/06/2024 | 17:08:37 Thank you very much, Madam President. Yeah, rules of procedure are made to co-ordinate our work, to avoid disputes, and if there are disputes, to help us to settle them and the changes we debate today have been discussed for a quite long time. I want to thank Ms Ingjerd Schie SCHOU for her long breath and her patience with us because it was not easy. But to be honest, it might not be totally over, the changes of the rules of procedure, because besides robust rules, we also need the engagement... 18/04/2024 | 18:59:42 I would like to start my reflections in Iran, the Iran that has a major interest in destabilising the entire region. Last weekend's missile attack on Israel is just a small piece of the puzzle. In addition, Iran systematically and permanently supports Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah with weapons, money, know-how and logistics. The calculation works, because if we look at the fact that Hamas deliberately sacrifices Palestinian lives by using people as living shields when they are attacked... 18/04/2024 | 15:52:09 Thank you very much. One of the proposals that Sunna had made in the draft opinion is to add a specific article in the Convention on parliamentary involvement. And I couldn't agree more on that. Stating that national parliaments should participate in the review of the implementation measures at national level and that he has Assembly should regularly take stock on the implementation of the Convention, a provision that is already existing the Istanbul Convention. National parliaments are... 18/04/2024 | 10:52:32 Thank you very much. Who ignore the evidence of climate catastrophe and that it is made by men, by us, that ignores the responsibility to act, to act to safeguard our future and the future of the next generations. And we have to take influence, we have to take measures. And one of the ways, I think that's the best one, is the way to human rights, to a safe and healthy and sustainable environment, and everything else will mean an end of civilisation, as we know it probably, and end of humanity...
