26/06/2026 | 11:12:57 Thank you, Madam Chair. I will be talking about Article 1 of the Statute of the Council of Europe and the feeling of double standardisation for me. Dear Chair, Dear colleagues, Article 1 of the Statute of the Council of Europe states that our primary aim is to achieve greater unity among the member states. However, the current climate within our Parliamentary Assembly unfairly targets certain members while leaving others unquestioned. The Council's rules must apply equally to everyone. I must... 25/06/2026 | 17:08:27 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, Unfortunately, I must say that there are fundamental problems with this report. First of all, the report assumes from the outset that certain governments are engaged in transnational oppression without providing a sufficiently clear definition of the term, while using one-sided sources which are being used as a tool for disinformation for a specific political agenda. While selecting the sources of the reports, our Assembly's institutional identity... 25/06/2026 | 16:12:14 Thank you, dear Chair, Dear colleagues, Access to justice is a fundamental right, starting with the right to life. The ongoing genocide in Gaza directly targets the right to life, the ultimate priority that enables the exercise of all other rights. Under the Geneva Convention IV, women are entitled to special protection. Yet international mechanisms have failed, leaving the global community completely paralysed to protect the women of Gaza. As United Nations Women (UNW) Executive Director... 24/06/2026 | 20:18:09 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear Chair, Dear Colleagues, I congratulate the rapporteur on this crucial report, which offers vital insights into securing the fundamental right to food. The destruction of agricultural capacities noted in the report is a stark reality on global level. On one hand agriculture modernises, on the other hand, in practice, monopolies are consolidating. And that situation causes high volatility on global food access. Seed conglomerates weaken... 23/06/2026 | 13:07:13 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear Chair, Dear Colleagues, This debate exposes this chamber’s internal contradictions once again. First, the very title of this debate has already formed an opinion itself. Are we here for a genuine discussion to reach an objective conclusion? Or are we simply in an echo chamber, imposing a predetermined political prejudice? And when it comes to the functioning of the law, we must primarily discuss this Assembly's dysfunction on Israel... 23/04/2026 | 12:16:01 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, We are gathered here today once again to address the harrowing developments in the Middle East and the fundamental necessity of respecting international law. For decades, we have denounced Israel’s inhumane policies. Let us be absolutely clear: the international community’s failure to check Israel's long-standing impunity has paved the way for genocide. As it has failed to employ the necessary mechanisms to prevent the genocide in Gaza, Israeli... 28/01/2026 | 17:36:01 Thank you, Chair. Dear colleagues, I would like to express once again my disappointment that our Assembly is holding a current affairs debate once again on Gaza, instead of a debate under urgent procedure. Since the announcement of the ceasefire, violence has not ended. A night free from bombardment, a morning spared from fear, a seat in a classroom and a home over their heads. This is the modest hope Gazan children hold for this year. Dear colleagues, as Mr Alija IZETBEGOVIĆ wisely said... 02/10/2025 | 12:32:37 Dear President, Dear colleagues, With its relentless violations, Israel continues to defy the international law, international humanitarian law and the global human rights framework with unprecedented audacity. It is 77 years since the Nakba. Just three days ago marked the 25th anniversary of the killing of Mohammed AL-DURRAH in the arms of his father. It has been 22 years since Rachel CORRIE was tragically crushed by Israeli bulldozers, and 15 years since Furkan DOĞAN was murdered in... 25/06/2025 | 17:29:56 Thank you. For 628 days, Israel has caused a collective trauma, not only for Palestinians, but for all humanity, through its genocidal crime perpetrated against the people of Gaza, carried out with insane cruelty. From the outset, we warned that if international institutions fail to act, Israel's violation of international humanitarian law will endanger the entire world. Today, we see with deep sorrow that this warning has tragically come true. This course is filled with lessons humanity must... 10/04/2025 | 16:02:54 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, this institution was born from the rubble of the Second World War and with the shame of the Holocaust, to say never may it happen again. Yet Europe, still burdened by the Holocaust and the genocide in Bosnia, now risks failing to stop another one. In the very beginning, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East's (UNRWA) former spokesperson, Mr Chris GUNNESS, described the situation in Gaza as a genocide being...
