29/01/2026 | 17:08:24 Thank you, Mr President, Ladies and gentlemen, The report presented to us today on the prohibition of conversion practices is an essential, courageous and, unfortunately, always necessary report. My group congratulates and thanks the rapporteur, Ms Kate OSBORNE. There can be no ambiguity: conversion practices are incompatible with human rights, human dignity and real equality for all. As this report reminds us, conversion practices are not only scientifically unfounded, but profoundly abject... 29/01/2026 | 11:46:38 Thank you, Madam President, The dramatic situation in the Middle East confronts our common humanity with the challenge of its own survival. In Palestine, genocide continues unabated. The population is still being subjected to an intolerable humanitarian blockade, and civilian massacres are continuing, despite a ceasefire that is in reality only partial. Israel continues to think itself above international law and, to our shame, most of our governments allow Benjamin NETANYAHU to act with... 28/01/2026 | 18:41:21 Thank you, President. This report reminds us of something that is fundamentally true, and my group thanks the rapporteur for her work: democracy does not fall from the sky, it is learned, practised and taught. Schools are one of the first places where this experience is possible. We fully agree with this observation. Schools are not just places where knowledge is imparted; they are also places where people socialise, build social links and learn to live together. Yet all over Europe, this... 28/01/2026 | 17:42:38 Thank you, President. At present, Israel is not respecting the ceasefire. Military incursions are continuing, civilians continue to be killed and the humanitarian blockade of Gaza continues. A ceasefire that is violated on a daily basis, without control mechanisms or sanctions, is nothing more than a diplomatic illusion. We still have full political responsibility. We must ensure the immediate protection of civilians and the strict application of international law in Gaza and the West Bank... 27/01/2026 | 11:35:13 Thank you, Madam President. Mr Secretary General, on 22 May this year, nine Council of Europe member states published an open letter calling into question the independence of the European Court of Human Rights, criticising it for restricting their action in the field of migration, when all the Court does is ensure respect for human rights for all. The letter echoed the clichés of the far right, portraying migrants as a threat and calling for a degraded application of human rights on their... 26/01/2026 | 16:30:23 Thank you, Madam President. International justice is under attack in a way that is unprecedented and extremely serious. For several months now, we have been witnessing a major political offensive against independent courts and international law. In February 2025, the Trump Administration adopted an executive order imposing sanctions against the International Criminal Court: visa restrictions and financial penalties for those who cooperate with the Court. The objective is clear: to intimidate... 03/10/2025 | 10:17:44 Thank you, Mister Chairman, The debate we are now holding concerns actual or potential applications of artificial intelligence in the field of migration. My Unified European Left Group would like to thank and congratulate the rapporteur on his work, which has raised awareness in our Assembly of the opportunities, but perhaps, above all, the dangers, and therefore the key precautions that our member states must take in this area in order to respect the human rights that we are responsible for... 30/09/2025 | 18:17:19 Thank you, Mister President, ladies and gentlemen, The report before us illustrates a truth of which history never ceases to remind us: once the far right takes power, it becomes difficult to unseat it. In Hungary in 2010, it was the coalition led by Viktor ORBÁN that came to power. And in 15 years, the far right has shown how, once elected, it uses and abuses its constitutional prerogatives to hold on, whatever the cost. Electoral redistribution carried out in the shadows, inequality of... 30/09/2025 | 11:54:43 Thank you Mr Bertrand BOUYX, The peace process initiated between Türkiye and the Kurdish people has so far failed to make concrete progress towards a democratic and peaceful solution, or to guarantee the durability of the democratic experiment in Rojava. Indeed, despite the PKK's agreement to lay down its arms, and although the bombing of the territories of the Autonomous Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria ceased a few months ago, numerous violations of international law by Türkiye... 30/09/2025 | 10:31:06 Thank you, Mr President. The Global Sumud Flotilla, made up of citizens from 45 countries, most of them Europeans, is heading for Gaza to break the illegal blockade imposed by Israel and bring humanitarian aid. Responding to a moral and legal duty, since the States are flouting the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the flotilla found itself under fire from multiple drones. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for an end to...
