23/06/2026 | 19:44:50 I will now then put the amendment as amended to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the result to be displayed. Amendment 4 as amended then is agreed. That brings us to the end of the amendments. We move on now then to proceed to vote on the draft resolution as amended. I remind colleagues that a simple majority is required. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the result to be displayed. The draft resolution as amended then is adopted. [Applause] That... 23/06/2026 | 19:29:43 Thank you. The debate then is now closed. We move on to the consideration of the amendments and, of course, eventually the Resolution itself. The Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy has presented a draft Resolution to which 12 amendments and three sub-amendments have been tabled. Now they will be taken in the order in which they appear in the compendium. And could I remind you all that speeches on amendments are limited to 30 seconds. I understand that the Chair of the Committee... 23/06/2026 | 17:53:30 Thank you, colleagues. If we could move on, then, to the next item of business this afternoon, which is the debate on the report titled "Democracy, Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Iran", Document 16413 presented by Mr Max LUCKS on behalf of the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy. We will then hear from Mr Pablo HISPÁN, who will present an opinion on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. We will then hear from Mr Jacques PARIS. We'll have a statement from him... 22/06/2026 | 16:37:58 Okay, colleagues, let's move on then to the next item of business. We now continue the debate on the Progress Report of the Bureau and the Standing Committee, which is Document 16430, which was presented by Ms Laura CASTEL. Now, with this we are considering the following reports. The report by the Ad Hoc Committee of the Bureau on Observation of the parliamentary elections in Hungary on 12 April 2026. That's Document 16432, which was presented this morning by Mr Pablo HISPÁN. And we'll also... 23/04/2026 | 10:58:33 Thank you, Chair. I hope you can hear me. In 1918, following the Treaty of Versailles, an important principle was enshrined in international law, that of self-determination. Now, arguably it only applied to European nations at that time, but nevertheless an important principle was established that is now being followed by the people of Ukraine: the idea that nations have the right to determine their own futures and have the right to resist aggressive and unprovoked attacks by other nations... 22/04/2026 | 18:11:20 Madam President, I come from a country where the death penalty was abolished as recently as 1998, and indeed, the jurisdiction... (Some people have already spoken; perhaps they'd allow other people to speak in the meantime.) The Isle of Man jurisdiction abolished the death penalty in 2006. It's recent memory. I speak as somebody who opposes the extension of the death penalty, of course. I speak as somebody who does not welcome the moves that we see in some parts of the world to extend its... 22/04/2026 | 11:56:58 Firstly, I will deal with Amendment 1. So let me deal with Amendment 1. Are there any objections to Amendment 1? I beg your pardon – if no one objects, I will consider the amendments to be rejected. Thank you. Is there an objection to Amendment 1? No. Amendments 1 and 2 to the draft resolution are therefore rejected and will not be called. There are no objections to amendments. Okay. There are no objections. We will now then proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Document 16372... 22/04/2026 | 11:56:12 Thank you. The debate is now closed. So we move on now to the consideration of the amendments. The Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination has presented a draft resolution, you will see, entitled "Promoting the Istanbul Convention and improving its implementation: building on the lessons learnt". It's Document 16372. Two amendments have been tabled. Now, I understand that the Chairperson of the Committee wishes to propose to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe that both... 22/04/2026 | 11:45:04 Thank you. I'm afraid we've reached 11:45 a.m., so I had hoped to call one or two more speakers, but time has beaten us. So I now must interrupt the list of speakers. The speeches of members on the speakers' list who have been present during the debate but haven't been able to speak can be given to the Table Office for publication in the official report. Speeches must not exceed 400 words, please. I remind colleagues that typewritten texts can be submitted electronically, if possible, no... 28/01/2026 | 11:52:54 Now, if no one objects, I will consider the amendments to be approved. But, is there an objection? I see no objections. So, Amendments 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 to the draft resolution are therefore approved and will not be called. Let's move on then to the recommendation, which I will find in a moment. We will now proceed to the vote on the draft resolution contained in the same document. A simple majority is required to adopt the resolution. The vote is now open. (Off-mic) I can't see that. The vote...
