Speeches since 2019

27/01/2021 | 12:32:35 Ms DE TEMMERMAN, thank you very much for this particular report. I would like to congratulate you. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be present at the Committee meeting yesterday. Ms DE TEMMERMAN, could you listen a moment to what I have to say? If you could please stop the clock a moment so that I have Ms Jennifer DE TEMMERMAN's attention. Thank you very much. I wanted to speak to you, unfortunately I wasn't able to yesterday in the Committe. Let me try to explain to you and to other... 26/01/2021 | 10:04:57 Colleagues, I really would like us to move away from emotions and get down to the facts. I think that the statistics from the last 10 years show that the number of applications to the Court have gone down three-fold and the Committee of Ministers report on execution of judgments has shown that 162 of those judgments have been withdrawn thanks to Russia's assiduous work. And certainly Russia is at the top of the list when it comes to the payment of just satisfaction, to the tune of €28,547,000... 31/01/2020 | 11:17:10 Thank you very much. Mr President, it might seem strange to you but I am indeed grateful for the word said by my colleagues from Ukraine because he spoke to us about the dissemination of fake news and I think indeed his particular presentation was a wonderful example of that dissemination. Now digital word and the penetration to every aspect of human life has been seen as a plus, an absolute blessing. Unfortunately, this was a kind of reckless and presumptuous idea in the first place because... 29/01/2020 | 19:43:42 Distinguished colleagues, It so happens that I complete the list of speakers and much has already been said before me. But I'd like to draw attention to the fact that the debate began about something which no one is talking about today. And that is the motives for challenging the credentials of the Russian delegation put forward by Mr Emanuelis ZINGERIS. Who said, almost verbatim, that Russia is going to have a referendum on international law which means that the Human Rights Court will no... 28/01/2020 | 11:14:29 Madam President. Distinguished colleagues, As regards to the report, we'd like to thank the drafters of the report for the high quality and objective work they've performed. I saw in the report no signs of a lack of respect for Polish legislation or administration of justice. We should point out that the Polish state has a genuine intention of improving the administration of justice. However, in the opinion of the Community of European Nations, the Polish legislators have chosen a mistaken... 03/10/2019 | 16:38:02 First of all, on this solemn occasion, I'd like to express my condolences. All states have to guarantee freedom, peace and liberty, of course, for all citizens. The state is the guarantor of that. What we are speaking about is not of a political nature, this is a legal issue. I think indeed that the initiator of this particular discussion mixed a number of things together that are not to be together. So, first of all, we have the protests. The protests, however, resulted in great turbulence... 01/10/2019 | 11:28:23 Madame Chairperson. Ladies and gentleman, The Russian Federation supports the need to take legislative measures to defend people who have blown the whistle about corruption or infringement of human rights or the general interest. And the Russians have this in their legislation to a large extent already. Not all of these whistle-blowers occur in our country or in other countries so it is important for countries to work together on this. In the draft resolution, I think we need to say, that we... 27/06/2019 | 17:47:54 Madam President, Dear colleagues. Please let me share the position of the Russian Federation delegation on the issue at hand. We have not participated in the discussion of this issue and we are not participating in the vote for three objective reasons. First of all, the draft Resolution and the report, as submitted to us, was prepared without the participation of the Russian Federation delegation. We were prevented, while the report was being drafted, from putting forward our views and...
