21/04/2026 | 19:05:33 Thank you, dear President, I'm lucky to speak last, but not least, I hope. Colleagues, When we open Google search, it's very simple to see that the Russian Federation unfortunately destroyed hundreds of churches and more than 60 priests of different confessions and religions were killed, not just wounded. Recently in Ukraine, one of the houses of prayers works was completely destroyed, leaving dead and wounded. I think Mr Francesco VERDUCCI will reassess his leadership of this important paper... 28/01/2026 | 19:33:40 Thank you dear President, I would like to thank the rapporteur. I would like to start with citing the report: "In a global context, marked by ongoing wars and other major crises, it may seem that enhancing the socialising role of schools is not an immediate priority. Yet we must recognise that today's schools shape tomorrow's society". Indeed, colleagues, today's schools are shaping tomorrow's leaders. I would also like to take your attention outside of the Hemicycle. It is not a coincidence... 28/01/2026 | 18:27:38 'Thank you' [spoken in Dutch]. Thank you. If there are no objections – I see none – I will consider the amendment to be approved. Oh yes, I will have to ask again. Is there any objection, colleagues, in the Hall? I see none. Amendment one to the draft opinion is therefore approved and will not be called. We will now proceed to the vote, colleagues, on the Draft Opinion contained in Document 16309, and a two-thirds majority is required. The vote is open, colleagues. Colleagues, the vote is... 28/01/2026 | 18:21:25 'Thank you' [spoken in Greek]. Thank you. Colleagues, I must now interrupt the list of speakers. The speeches of the members on the speakers list who haven't managed to speak today can be given to the Table Office no later than four hours from the moment the list has been interrupted. So from now onwards, after four hours. Your speeches must not exceed 400 words and have to be typewritten text submitted to the Table Office electronically if possible. Again, not later than four hours from now... 28/01/2026 | 17:50:31 Colleagues, good evening. We will resume our session with the next item of business this evening and the debate on the report titled “Draft additional protocol to the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine concerning the protection of human rights and dignity of persons with regard to involuntary placement and involuntary treatment within mental healthcare services”, Document 16309. It is presented by Ms Carmen LEYTE on behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable... 27/01/2026 | 19:58:37 Thank you, Ms. Chair. [Applause] The debate is closed, colleagues. The Monitoring Committee has presented a draft resolution, Document 16310, to which no amendments have been tabled. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Document 16310. A simple majority is required. Colleagues, the vote is open now. The vote is closed, colleagues. I call for the results to be displayed: It's adopted: 63 in favour, 1 against and 2 abstentions. Congratulations, colleagues. [Applause... 27/01/2026 | 19:17:55 Colleagues, We resume our session. I have here a hammer and a bell to keep everything in order. But I'm sure everyone will behave! The next item of business this afternoon is the debate – well, of the evening – is the debate on the report titled: The functioning of democratic institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Document 16310, presented by Mr Zsolt NÉMETH and Mr Pablo HISPÁN on behalf of the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy. In order to finish by 8 p.m. sharp, I will interrupt... 02/10/2025 | 10:46:57 Thank you dear President. Dear colleagues, I would first of all like to thank all political group leaders who initiated this brilliant file. And I don't know any other institution who can produce such resolutions just in 48 hours. Thank you, Mr Iulian BULAI, for chairing this process. And we thank the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy today for accepting all the amendments. Colleagues, we still have time and we still have a hope that our co-operation can bring us to real, lasting... 01/10/2025 | 19:08:09 President, Dear colleagues, This is a very tough file and I would like to share on behalf of the Ukrainian delegation appreciation to Mr Eerik-Niiles KROSS, who took the lead on it. Today, we're talking about the possible platform of the possible Russian democratic forces. I think this text is very clear, as we were clear back in February 2022 when we were expelling Russia as a state, stating "nothing about Ukraine, without Ukraine". We definitely want to see the real Russian democratic... 01/10/2025 | 17:43:14 Dear President, Dear colleagues, I want to salute us all. This is a historical document and we've been through this in a very critical time, in a very short period of time. No other international armed conflict across the world has faced such a speedy legal answer to the aggression. In our case, it is the Russian Federation who was expelled from this Parliamentary Assembly and which has to pay for all the losses, material and non-material, which Ukrainians are facing today. I would like to...
