27/09/2021 | 15:53:54 Thank you Mr President, dear colleagues. The term "progress report" implies that we expect some progress to be achieved in our activities in the field of human rights. The fact is that there has been no progress. On the contrary, the situation with human rights has considerably deteriorated, especially in Russia and in the territories occupied by Russia. As an act of brutal revenge against holding the Crimean platform in Ukraine, Russian occupation authorities arrested a number of Crimean... 24/06/2021 | 18:28:12 Thank you very much. Dear colleagues, The debate is closed.

Dear colleagues, As a student many, many years ago I had a privilege to study at the Institute of International Relations in a very diverse cultural and ethnic environment. The majority of my colleague students at that Institute I had been studying with at that time were from African countries, from Asian countries and other parts of the world. Since that time, I have learned to appreciate the importance of cultural and ethnic diversity for our... 24/06/2021 | 11:06:47 I shall now put Amendment No. 8 to the vote. Members present in the Chamber should use the hemicycle voting system, and members participating remotely should vote using the remote voting system. The vote in the hemicycle and via remote voting system is open. The vote is closed. I call for the result to be displayed. Amendment 8 as amended is agreed to. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Doc. 15250 as amended. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for... 24/06/2021 | 11:04:41 Thank you. Does anyone wish to speak against the oral sub-amendment? No. What is the opinion of the mover of the main amendment Mr Vladimir KOZHIN? Can we bring him on? The Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons is of course in favour of the amendment. I will now put oral sub-Amendment No. 1 to the vote. Members present in the chamber should use the hemicycle voting system. Members participating remotely should vote using the remote voting system. The vote in the hemicycle... 24/06/2021 | 11:02:40 Thank you, Mister Sergey KISLYAK. I have been informed that Mr Paulo PISCO, the rapporteur, wishes to propose an oral sub-amendment on behalf of the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons as follows: in Amendment No. 8 leave out the words "systemic discrimination against diasporas including in the virtual space, especially in the context of maintaining relations with the country of origin" and insert the words "discrimination against diasporas". In my opinion, the oral sub... 24/06/2021 | 10:58:05 Thank you. As nobody objects, Amendments No. 7, 6, 5, and 4 are rejected. Please, could those who object raise their hand in the hemicycle, for those present, or via the remote system? I remind the Assembly that the objection must be supported by at least ten members. There is no rejection, okay. Since there are only seven, not ten, people who object, the decision holds. Yes, fewer than ten members objected and so Amendments No. 7, 6, 5 and 4 are rejected. And now we go directly to Amendment... 24/06/2021 | 10:56:49 Thank you. Does anyone object? If so, please ask for the floor by raising your hand in the hemicycle for those who are present, or via the remote system. As there is no objection I declare that Amendments 1, 3 and 2 to the draft resolution have been agreed. Under Rule 34.12 introduced by Resolution 2350, any amendment which has been rejected by the Committee, ceased for the report by two thirds majority of the votes cast, shall not be put to the vote in plenary and shall be declared as... 23/06/2021 | 18:12:52 Thank you Madam President. The occupying authorities in Crimea again directed their repressive machine at the Crimean Tatars: conducting searches, illegal detentions, imprisoning representatives of the Crimean Tatar people for political reasons, constant intimidation and forcing them to forget their rights - just like before, 77 years ago, when a criminal deportation of the Crimean Tatar people was carried out by the Soviet government, which was ethnic cleansing and genocide. In May 2021, in... 22/06/2021 | 12:54:19 Thank you. Does anyone wish to speak against the oral amendment? No. And the Committee is obviously in favour. I shall now put the oral amendment to the vote. Members present in the chamber should use the hemicycle voting system, members participating remotely should vote using the remote voting system. The vote in the hemicycle and via remote voting system is now open. The vote is closed. I call for the result to be displayed. The oral amendment is agreed to unanimously. Now we go into...
