11/10/2023 | 16:49:18 Thank you, Mister President. We are all, I cannot imagine otherwise, engulfed in sadness and horror today. Just as our first speaker, Ms Meirav BEN ARI, was. To summarise, 1 200 people are dead. Almost 3 000 injured. There are reports of babies beheaded, and 17 people from my own country have also been killed. Still the terrorists come. They come across the sea onto the Zikim beach where they are killed. The town of Sderot is being evacuated. I mentioned this earlier in the week, because this... 10/10/2023 | 18:44:56 Could you take your seats, please, so that we can continue. Thank you very much. Let us begin this debate. The next item on the agenda is the debate on the report that is entitled "The honouring of membership obligations to the Council of Europe by France". It is Document no. 15833, presented by Ms Yelyzaveta YASKO and Ms Fiona O’LOUGHLIN on behalf of the Monitoring Committee. In order to finish by 8:00 p.m., I will interrupt the list of speakers at about 7:50 p.m. to allow time for the reply... 10/10/2023 | 16:50:42 Thank you very much, Madam President.

Europe is no less clean than anywhere else. On the one side, within... 09/10/2023 | 16:07:06 Thank you very much Mister President, I would like to thank Mr Aleksander POCIEJ for his report. I'm sure it does not matter which political party we all originated from, but we should all wish him luck in the Polish general elections. I was very pleased to see his use of the Venice Commission as part of that, or of the Polish opposition. I urge all countries to look at that to resolve issues. In the question of Mr Osman Kavala, which he raised, I don't wish to raise false hope, but there is... 23/06/2023 | 11:07:57 Thank you. Thank you. [said in French] As nobody objects, Amendment 2 and 3 to the draft resolution are rejected. Sorry, was there any objection to that proposal? No, okay. Thank you very much. The Amendment 2 and 3 to the draft resolution are rejected. Excuse me while I turn to the right page. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Doc. 15787 [as amended]. A simple majority is required. The vote is now open. The vote is now closed. I call for the result to be...
