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... 27/06/2025 | 10:46:28 Thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues, On this last morning of our week together, I would like to sound the alarm on the grave threat hanging over our continent, resulting in the trampling of fundamental rights, the endangerment of the rule of law, and the weakening of democracy. These attacks are the work of the extreme right, which is advancing across Europe with a clear strategy of undermining checks and balances, curtailing freedoms and governing through fear. Viktor ORBÁN's Hungary is... 26/06/2025 | 16:48:05 Thank you, Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen, The report we are examining today brings us to the subject of democracy. If there's one area in which we must constantly strive for perfection, it's the real, concrete implementation of democracy, particularly within the institution in which we sit. How can we claim to be democratic when more than half the population is excluded, or in any case, when the conditions are not in place for more than half the population to have access to our... 26/06/2025 | 11:33:25 Thank you, Mr Chairman. Ladies and gentlemen, The report before us - and my group salutes the work of rapporteur Sandra ZAMPA - makes a clear observation. The management of reception conditions for migrants in Europe all too often flouts their fundamental rights. Urgent action is needed to ensure that the rights of migrants are respected throughout the member states of our institution. This report rightly stresses the importance of a dignified welcome, in line with human rights. Along with my... 10/04/2025 | 17:28:00 Thank you, Mister President. The creation of the European Political Community by French President Emmanuel MACRON raises a number of questions as to its necessity and legitimacy. Some of these questions are addressed in the report before us, but others deserve to be examined in greater detail. If the aim of the EPC was to discuss economic issues or military co-operation, the OSCE already offered an appropriate framework. If the objective was to discuss issues relating to human rights... 10/04/2025 | 17:05:07 Thank you, Mister President. Over three weeks ago, Israel deliberately broke the ceasefire with a massive bombardment of the Gaza Strip. Since then, thousands of Gazans have been killed, the majority of them women and children, and several hundred wounded. More than 50 000 civilians, including 20 000 children, have been killed by Israel in the genocidal war it has been waging in Gaza for eighteen months now. These massacres, in addition to the weeks-long embargo on humanitarian aid and the...
