23/06/2025 | 12:28:28 Thank you, Mister speaker. One of the main conclusions in the report is that the 2025 parliamentary elections in Albania were competitive and professionally conducted but took place in a highly polarised environment and that contestants did not enjoy a level playing field. Still, candidates were generally able to campaign freely although some reported facing intimidation. The electoral administration managed the process in an inclusive and transparent manner. But it is a big concern that the... 10/04/2025 | 11:24:12 Thank you, Mister President. The strength of the Council of Europe is that we, in all contexts, in all matters, are committed to working for human rights and the rule of law through dialogue and respect for the individual member states. A lot needs to happen before the issue of excluding member states and not approving credentials becomes an issue, precisely because we believe in dialogue, and the fundamental idea that human rights must always be the basis. We are now, dear friends, in the... 08/04/2025 | 18:10:56 Thank you, Chair. The Council of Europe standards and mechanisms seek to promote and ensure respect for the human rights of every individual.

The activity on social media is regulated by the content moderation rules included in social media companies’ terms and conditions. It is a challenge that these rules can be different from company to company and users are bound by them on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. Another challenge, as the rapporteur... 28/01/2025 | 19:46:24 Thank you. It should be a big concern that private military and security companies are widely used by states and businesses. Of course, we must recognise that security companies often play an important role in humanitarian missions, but that fact is no argument for not to regulate and work for a clarification of the legal consequences of their actions. The erosion of the state monopoly on the use of force is an erosion of the states’ authority, because it results in loss of democratic...
