01/10/2026 | 18:14:46 Thank you, Madam Chair, Dear colleagues, I would first of all like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Georgios STAMATIS, for the quality and balance of this report. This report has the merit of making the right assessment. This is not a disaster, but a major shift that calls for a coherent response, rather than a series of piecemeal measures. Above all, it reminds us that the aim is not to pressure people into having children, but to remove the obstacles preventing them from realising their family... 01/10/2026 | 17:53:46 Thank you, Madam Chair, Dear colleagues, Defending human rights is not a crime; it is a duty. And yet, there are nights that speak volumes about the state of a democracy. On the night of 12 to 13 September in Türkiye, seven organisations defending LGBTI people, two organisations supporting people living with HIV, as well as bars and clubs from Istanbul to Mersin, were raided, searched and silenced. And when citizens came out to protest, more than 100 were arrested and detained for over 24... 01/10/2026 | 11:16:39 Thank you, Mr President, Dear colleagues, Behind this excellent report by our colleague lies a human face.

This climate issue has therefore now fully entered the realm of human rights, making... 29/09/2026 | 10:46:19 Thank you, Madam Chair. Honourable members, When the European Convention on Human Rights was adopted, Europe had not yet fully recognised equality for all as a right. Many people were still subject to discrimination on the grounds of their identity, origin, beliefs, sexual orientation or because they lived with a disability. Throughout its 75-year history, the Council of Europe has evolved alongside our societies, whilst keeping the Convention as its cornerstone. As a living instrument, the... 25/06/2026 | 18:41:02 Thank you, Mr President, First and foremost, I would also like to say how much I have enjoyed working with you over the years. We are witnessing an escalation in pornography, with increasingly violent practices designed to meet demand and grab attention. However, whilst pornography may be an expression of free sexuality, it must not be an industry that dehumanises people. In many videos, we are no longer simply talking about filmed sexuality. We are seeing scenes of violence and humiliation...
