20/06/2023 | 17:56:14 Madam President and colleagues, When the Ukrainian army drives the Russian occupier out of its land; when successive heroes give their lives for a free Europe; the Polish government adopts a law that any authoritarian dictator would not be ashamed of. In the so-called Lex Tusk this political commission - like a court without being a court - will convict those who the ruling party would accuse of being influenced by Russia. The committee's decision will be like a judgment. We already know... 21/04/2021 | 16:32:38 Oh! I thought that we had three minutes. So, Ms Dunja MIJATOVIĆ presented a comprehensive report on the activities of the commissioner last year. Women's rights in particular have suffered over the past several months.

COVID-19 is an unprecedented challenge for human rights, for democracy and the rule of law. During the pandemic we are celebrating the 70th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights. The convention obliges countries to take measures aiming to protect human lives... 20/11/2020 | 11:23:09 The Court plays a fundamental role in protecting human rights not only during the pandemic, therefore I would like to ask you to clarify your former statement, Mr President: when can we expect judgments in some key cases of fundamental importance for the Polish judiciary system? And actually for the European judiciary system too? I mean in particular the Judge Tuleya case against Poland. Just two days ago, Judge Tuleya lost his immunity as part of political repressions against the judiciary...
