03/10/2024 | 17:28:43 Thank you, President. So we talked about a wonderful report about the right to food. I am so happy. I'm going to wave to you, like the MakeSense guys. I will tell a little bit more about you in a minute. Since I have only one kidney left, I am unable to eat healthy if I buy my food in a general supermarket. And that goes for a lot of people, because we don't have healthy food on average in our supermarkets anymore. And I'm not the only one. A lot of people who have little money know about... 01/10/2024 | 19:41:15 Thank you, Mister President. I want to thank my colleagues for a civilised debate. I think many new topics came to the table, like the demonstrators and the safety of them, the journalists. And we have a lot of work to do in this Council about the Middle East and situations that arise from this conflict. I think it is really good that we discuss this topic. I'm looking forward to discuss it again in January. I really hope we'll spend these months thinking about, as my Spanish colleague... 01/10/2024 | 18:40:01 Thank you, President. It is a heavy responsibility to open this debate and to ask for your urgent attention to the situation which is evolving now and is worsening by the hour. We are watching an extreme escalation of violence in the Middle East. With the escalation of the might of Israel’s military operations in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and the next few days will be crucial. It is a conflict with very deep roots and wounds on all sides. We are divided, but however difficult, we must try today... 27/06/2024 | 15:47:16 Thank you, President. Cyprus was established in 1960 as an independent state with ensuring equal rights and responsibilities to both the Turkish and the Cypriot citizens. And yet, already soon after the establishment of the state, the people of Cyprus were confronted with several violent conflicts resulting in 1974 in occupying of parts of its territories by Türkiye. In 2024, we are still confronted with the painful remnants of this conflict. The report on the return of Varosha to its lawful... 25/06/2024 | 16:21:14 Thank you, President. Thank you, Mister Türk for your wonderful and eloquent speech. I'm working on a report about the children and women in Gaza. You already said something about it, but I would like to ask you a bit more, because, like the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court, our organisation is worried about specifically the vulnerable people in the area. And my questions are: What is your perspective on it? And what are your greatest concerns concerning... 18/04/2024 | 18:33:07 Thank you. Dear friends, We all know how difficult the discussions on this conflict are. But despite all the emotions and struggles that we have, I think it is really good that we talk together about the situation, and I want to thank all of you who have made this possible because it is not an easy discussion to have. We have two partners who are in our midst (well, on the screen today), but who have a big conflict that has big consequences for people in the area. But I think it is important... 18/04/2024 | 11:07:52 Thank you, Mister President. I want to thank both rapporteurs for the really great reports and recommendations. With your work, you deepen how we think about human rights and how we think beyond human rights. You try to fortify the situation. I speak from a country that has a right, already, for a clean and liveable environment. I can tell the worried colleagues that we are having a thriving economy and attracting really competitive companies due to a good liveable situation. We talk about... 13/10/2023 | 10:13:17 Thank you very much. Dear President, dear friends, When it comes to President Putin and the uninvited violence that comes from this aggressive regime, my country has enough hands-on experience since the downing of MH17. That careless act of violence that costs so many people their lives made very clear the enormous dangers the failing state of Russia proposes to others. Not only to peoples nearby Russia, like the people of Ukraine, Georgia, or Chechnya, who suffered already enormously. Since...
