27/09/2021 | 17:17:02 (...what happens if I start to vomit. I'm so sorry - this is actually for health reasons for me that I... in my parliament I have usually actually not... but I will try to do my best, I will try to do my best. Can I start once again?) Thanks Mr Paul GAVAN for an excellent report. It's a good base for our discussion. Secondly I want to remind you about 2001, the year Azerbaijan and Armenia joined the Council of Europe. It was agreed - it was clearly agreed - that only peaceful means were to be... 24/06/2021 | 17:08:56 Thank you very much indeed for the discussion. I also thank very much Mr Momodou Malcolm JALLOW for the report itself. This has been a very valuable discussion in very many ways. We human beings are different, but we are equal. The basic issue of humanity, obviously, is to respect each other. The most natural thing, obviously, is that we are also by colour etc. different, even in gender we are different. Let's understand equality and non-discrimination. Thanks very much indeed for this... 24/06/2021 | 16:17:17 Thank you very much, Mister JALLOW for your very important statement. I fully agree, It's a historical moment. It's a very important item for everyone of us to share and discuss. I have already noted that Ms E. Tendayi ACHIUME, the United Nations rapporteur on these issues will address us after this debate, so that's important. I have heard a critic during this session, altogether, that the speakers' list has been too long too many times. Those who have been listed already before hand and... 24/06/2021 | 16:07:14 Thank you very much, Mister LOPUSHANSKYI. We put your note into the minutes. So it's noted. Thank you very much. Okay. Now we move to the Progress Report of the Bureau. This Bureau sat just now in the afternoon and has proposed several references to the Committees. They are set out in the Progress Report (Doc. 15318 Addendum 4), as you have it. These references must be submitted for ratification by the Assembly, so I will ask: Are there any objections to these references? I don't see any... 23/06/2021 | 10:31:51 Mr President, dear colleagues, During its April session, our Assembly adopted two resolutions concerning Belarus. The resolution on "human rights violations in Belarus" gives a detailed account of the serious and repeated human rights violations committed on a massive scale following the 2020 presidential election. Similarly, the resolution on the "urgent need for electoral reform in Belarus" condemns in the strongest terms the unprecedented wave of violence, mass arrests, intimidation and... 22/06/2021 | 18:14:26 Thanks a lot. Does anyone wish to speak against? No. Committee opinion. I put Amendment no. 11 to vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. Result. Clearly approved. Now we go to the draft recommendation as a whole. A two-thirds majority is required for this. I will put the whole draft recommendation to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. The results. Clearly approved. That's the end of this item. Thanks very much for your active participation. We'll still continue the... 22/06/2021 | 18:11:43 I suppose these thanks were really... now Committee. The Committee is in favour. I put Amendment No. 10 to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. Results: clearly approved. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we are in the stage that we have the whole draft resolution to put to the vote. So the whole draft resolution is now on the vote. The vote is open. Let's wait that everybody can vote. The vote is closed. And the result: clear majority. Congratulations to Mr Andrej HUNKO and everybody... 22/06/2021 | 18:04:08 Totally unanimity. OK. That's why it's only complicated in a bureaucratic way because we must vote them two times, because of one word. But now we will do it. Now we put the oral sub amendment number 1 to vote. The vote is open. Vote is closed. Almost unanimously approved. Now because of bureaucracy, we should actually move to the main amendment as amended. Does anyone want to speak against the amendment as amended? No. The committee obviously supports this one. Now we will put the whole... 22/06/2021 | 17:55:30 Thank you very much, Mister Luís LEITE RAMOS, and now we move to the area of making decisions. The Committee has presented a draft resolution on the item to which 10 amendments have been tabled, as well as and draft recommendation to which one amendment has been table. I understand that the Committee proposed to the Assembly that Amendment 3, 5 and 7 to the draft resolution, which were unanimously approved by the Committee, should be declared as agreed by the Assembly also. Amendment 6 was... 22/06/2021 | 16:50:52 Ladies and gentlemen, let's move to the next item. I'll try to do my best with this hammer which the President kindly offered to me. I suppose it's not very much needed. We are very orderly running the discussions. Obviously, you all know very well that during the annual progress report the overall theme for all of us was the pandemic, the Covid-19 pandemic. It has had a big impact for the organisation obviously, also on our work and also, of course, throughout Europe. It's a serious...
