23/06/2026 | 12:39:26 Thank you, Madam President, Madam Minister. We note with regret that the Council of Europe, the continent’s oldest and most inclusive European institution, sometimes sees its decision-making processes overshadowed by narrow and exclusive approaches centred on Brussels. Yet the Committee of Ministers is the supreme decision-making body responsible for shaping the framework for political dialogue within the Council. Under the Monegasque Presidency, how do you intend to mobilise the... 23/06/2026 | 11:54:31 Thank you, Madam Chair, Dear colleagues, I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle to which we are all committed: respect for the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary. The developments concerning Türkiye that have recently been mentioned are currently the subject of ongoing legal proceedings. In a state governed by the rule of law, it is for the competent courts, and not for political leaders, to establish the facts, examine the evidence and deliver their judgements in... 23/04/2026 | 12:33:15 Thank you, Madam Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen, Respect for international law cannot be selective or circumstantial.

Let us be clear: the abolition of the death penalty is not an option, it is a fundamental principle. To go back on it is to deliberately depart from the most basic standards of human rights. What makes this situation even more... 27/01/2026 | 11:49:55 Thank you, Madam Chairman. Congratulations once again. Mr Secretary General, Over the past year, some Council of Europe member states have taken the initiative in criticising the Court's interpretation of the Convention in relation to irregular migration. My question is very similar to that of Mr Emmanuel FERNANDES, but I think it is important to come back to it once again, because these positions have highlighted the differences between the Member States on this issue. In the context of your...
