27/06/2024 | 18:30:20 Thank you very much, President. What is unfolding in Gaza comes about as the result of a historical and complex conflict. But the most recent escalations started on 7 October, when more than 1 200 members of the terrorist group Hamas entered Israel and killed more than 1 000 innocent people in their own homes as well as at the Nova International Music Festival, which was being attended by thousands of young people from around the world. At that point in time, Hamas kidnapped and held hostage... 26/01/2024 | 11:01:13 Thank you very much, President. I would like to thank Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ for this excellent report in which he describes in a detailed fashion what child abuse is in institutions and the need for proper and just reparations for the girls and boys who have fallen victim, without stigmatising institutions or countries. I am encouraged that we are speaking about an issue that has caused considerable harm to millions of people throughout the world and unfortunately continues to do so. Child... 13/10/2023 | 11:54:01 Thank you very much indeed, madam President. I would like to congratulate the authors of both reports but I am going to be speaking particularly about mental health. But these are two excellent reports. Now, young people need people around them to provide them with security and a sense of self esteem. And their mental wellbeing can be harmed by the chronic circumstances in which they live. Violence in their schools, in their communities, the ready availability of illicit substances, as well... 27/04/2023 | 15:42:15 Thank you, Mister President. I am going to speak in Spanish. Good afternoon, dear colleagues. I would like to begin by praising Mr Paulo PISCO for his well-documented report on deportations and forcible transfers of Ukrainian civilians and, above all, for emphasising the dramatic situation faced by Ukrainian children being deported and forcibly transferred to Russia or to Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia. Given this tragedy, it is a pleasure for me to share the analyses and... 14/10/2022 | 11:14:12 Madam President, honourable colleagues, The Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development welcomes the excellent report prepared by Ms Thórhildur Sunna ÆVARSDÓTTIR on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I would like to congratulate the rapporteur for her excellent work on this subject. It is careful, it is a report that is well-argued. I would particularly like to extend my thanks to her for the good cooperation that we have had in the preparation... 13/10/2022 | 13:13:21 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) It has been 8 long months since Russia invaded Ukraine, the terrible consequences are thousands of deaths, homes destroyed, human rights violations, and an escalation of horrors that does not seem to end. I want to show my solidarity and admiration with the people of Ukraine and their President, whom we have heard today in this House, for their determination and courage to defend their country, and to show my gratitude because they are not... 24/06/2022 | 10:52:55 Thank you, President. I wish to thank all of the speakers who have taken the floor in this debate, because when you listen it enriches the debate, and some very interesting things have been said. I think many speakers have agreed with the text and philosophy of the report. While it is true that in the Chamber there have also been some misunderstandings, for example, saying that Covid-19 vaccines are experimental. Of course they aren't; they have been tested and authorised by the European... 24/06/2022 | 10:09:33 Thank you, President. Distinguished parliamentarians, The issue of vaccination has aroused great attention as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, but it has also brought to light rejection, which demonstrates that our global health safety requires improvements. It is very troubling that immunisation rates are dropping around the world. The right to health is a fundamental part of our human rights and our human dignity, as enshrined in both the International Covenant on Economic, Social and... 22/06/2021 | 11:39:47 Thank you, President. As things stand today, I think most people in this Assembly would believe there are good reasons to roll out our Covid-19 passes provided they are in full compliance with human rights. This is in line with the position of the ECDC, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and it stated this 4 days ago. As rapporteur for the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development, my analysis will see this question through the perspective of public... 28/06/2019 | 11:57:02 The debate is closed. We will now proceed to vote on the draft Resolution contained in document 14909. The vote is open. The draft Resolution is adopted. We will now proceed to vote on the draft Recommendation contained in document 14909. A two-thirds majority is required. The vote is open. The draft Recommendation is adopted. Now I want to read a few words to Ms Tineke STRIK. As this is the last time Ms Tineke STRIK presents a report in this Assembly, I would like to thank her for the...
