03/10/2024 | 10:50:16 Hello colleagues, Thank you for this extremely important debate. I see a lot of youth representatives here, who might hear the world "Holodomor" for the first time in their lives. I would like to explain why this historical document is so important and why it is linked to Austria, Britain, and my home city Kharkiv, which was heavily bombarded by the Russian missiles yesterday, and many people were wounded, including a three-year-old child. So, colleagues, in 1933, Austrian engineer Alexander... 02/10/2024 | 17:57:03 Thank you, dear Chairman, Colleagues, I'll try to be very brief. You've referred to very concrete points of this resolution we've drafted together with the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons. And indeed, I want also to thank Switzerland for its leadership in placing the Summit on Peace this year in the respected country. And this draft resolution refers to point 4 of Mr Volodymyr ZELENSKYY's Peace Formula. That's why we're talking today about missing persons, civilians and... 02/10/2024 | 16:48:53 Dear President, Dear Secretary General, Dear colleagues, dear guests, dear families of the civilians in captivity, and dear heroes of Ukraine. I think with no due delay, we have to say that indeed, today we debate a historical document which we hope you will highly support by your votes with the title "Missing persons, prisoners of war and civilians in captivity as a result of the war of aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine". You text, but you don't receive a reply. You wait... 01/10/2024 | 19:52:11 Thank you, dear President. Honourable colleagues, Everyone who is remaining in this important debate in this hall, I have the huge privilege to present the opinion on the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination, which is the aligned committee to this report. I would like to say that we can't even call it a situation in Iran; it is a tragedy in Iran. This is a very blunt truth, because currently Mr Max LUCKS took up a very important role. This report has been prepared for longer than a... 27/06/2024 | 10:54:06 Thank you, Dear President, Mister ROUSOPOULOS, dear colleagues. I wish we never had this Resolution to be tabled or to be debated. I am speaking right now as a Ukrainian. I am speaking right now as a fan of Georgia. I am speaking right now as a chairwoman of the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination. I'm speaking right now as a chairwoman of the Women Democracy Network, Eastern Region and Ukraine. I have had a Skype conversation with representatives of the Women Democracy Network from... 25/06/2024 | 18:02:59 Dear President, Thank you very much. Thank you for chairing our important files. You are there always for us. It's no coincidence. Dear Petra, someone might say that you know there was a brief encounter into the topic, but you opened up a very important issue for many member states and beyond, because today human rights defenders are very often starting to experience violence and prosecutions themselves, because of the nature of their operations. Yesterday the International Day of Women in... 25/06/2024 | 11:47:47 Thank you, dear Speaker. Hello colleagues. Hello dear representatives of youth who are here at the balconies, and not only. Today we are debating two extremely important Resolutions. I would like to thank the rapporteurs, and of course the Secretariat who helped to realise the text of this Resolution. I hope yet another time we would not remain just as documents, but they will be implemented when we talk about the voting rights, the age limits, the participation of youth in political life of... 18/04/2024 | 11:14:05 Merci, Madam President. Thank you very much. I would like to thank the Social Committee, the Chairman, and, of course, our dear colleague Ms Yuliia OVCHYNNYKOVA. If not all the members know, her background is in science, in chemistry, biology, and she was that lady who during the first days of Russian occupation, of the city of Donetsk managed to move the National University to the safe location of Central Ukraine. Julia, I know how much of an effort it took you to draft this report. I also... 17/04/2024 | 19:15:30 Yes, yes, Madam President, thank you very much. Thank you for your courageous chairwomanship of this important debate. It doesn't mean if we are not all present here it's not important. I'm sure many LGBTI people across Europe and beyond, in Canada, in Mexico, in other observer states to the Council of Europe will watch it and cherish what we have produced. I would like to thank Mr Christophe LACROIX for his tremendous work, for putting his personal case bravely in front of many people who... 16/04/2024 | 16:47:26 Thank you, dear Chairman, dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank for their courage Mr Lulzim BASHA and Mr Davor Ivo STIER, because you have produced a tremendous file which no other institution was capable of. And this is also the great work of the Secretariat of the Committee. And now friends, we will have to be today realistic but at the same time quite philosophical. It is not peace first, it is our common win and victory first. And I think it twisted completely the...
