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... 24/01/2024 | 16:34:24 Thank you, Mr President [in French]. Dear Secretary-General, Dear colleagues, It is very important to talk today about the challenges that we are all facing, a very powerful organisation which unites 37 of the largest, most prosperous economies on the globe made a [call], as well as our organisation did, and in the fall of 2022 responded to the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine by not saying yes to the application of Russia, which it made in 2014 to join the organisation. On the contrary... 13/10/2023 | 10:34:06 Thank you, dear President. Colleagues, I would like to start with statistics. We're now talking about the person who actually influenced each and every person's life in this room, outside of the hall, and in the whole world. The UN calculated that the war of aggression of Russia and Putin himself, because he planned it and executed it since 2014 against Ukraine, in 2008 against Georgia back in the days against Abkhazia and many other countries. It has influenced 1.8 billion people in 94... 12/10/2023 | 16:52:31 Yes, I'm here. Thank you, dear Chairwoman. Thank you, Ingjerd. Good afternoon, dear colleagues. I think it's extremely important to mention one of the historical moments of these two important resolutions. Today, for this fact, I am wearing a dress from the 1930s of the last century, which was made and embroidered by my great-grandmother who survived two waves of great famine, of great starvation during the Stalin regime in Ukraine in the 20th century. She raised three children, one of whom... 11/10/2023 | 19:56:37 Absolutely, dear Chairman, Thank you, thank you, dear President. Dear Madam Béatrice FRESKO-ROLFO, I would like to thank you for your tremendous work on behalf of the Committee, for the work of the Secretariat, which exhaustively helped to improve this report, and to all those, Ian and Etilda, who have submitted four Amendments, which were adopted unanimously, one of which has already been taken on board by the Ukrainian Parliament for the legislation, to rule actually for those victims to...
