01/10/2026 | 16:37:04 Chair, Artificial intelligence will not just change the future of work, it will change the geography of opportunity. If we do not understand where those changes are happening, which sectors are affected and whether local people are being equipped to benefit, policy makers will be acting too late. I commend the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for the work it's doing to evaluate AI's impact on our labour markets. As we've heard, its modelling in 2025 estimated that... 30/09/2026 | 19:50:59 Thank you very much, Chair. I mean, it's been heartening to see that not a single speaker has argued against the broad proposals in my report, the resolution, or indeed the draft recommendation. And I think that's very important for the Committee of Ministers when, I hope, they consider this recommendation, because I think it shows, and another speaker said this as well, that this Assembly is united in the need to take stronger steps to make Russia pay for these heinous violations that we... 30/09/2026 | 18:51:10 Colleagues, In July last year, the European Court of Human Rights handed down judgments in the case of Ukraine and the Netherlands against Russia.

On 9 September, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights unanimously adopted this report, including the draft resolution and the draft recommendation before you today. And I thank Rapporteur Mr Tekke PANMAN for his excellent report on the meticulous work that was behind it. He undertook two fact-finding visits to The Hague to meet with representatives of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the international community and the host state, the Netherlands. The... 24/06/2026 | 15:44:16 Thank you, Madam President. The UK Electoral Commission reported that during the 2024 general election, 25% of voters surveyed reported seeing or hearing a deepfake. Now, I'd be interested to know what proportion of the voters saw the deepfake and actually thought it was real. The questions of what is true, what is false and how do we know go to the root of our democracy. Because, as Mr C.P.
