23/06/2026 | 18:45:20 Thank you, dear President. Thank you, dear rapporteur. Thank you, colleagues. Today takes me back in time to when I was a co-rapporteur on women's rights in Iran and the protection of the women's rights. But today, colleagues, we're talking about a very wide, larger and definitely broader context of the authoritarian regime in Iran, its erosion and security and defence in Europe. Not only are we talking about multiple and grave human rights violations that occurred, not only since 2025, when... 23/04/2026 | 15:32:30 Dear colleagues, the sitting is open. I remind members that in order to be registered for the sitting, you should insert your badge when you take your seat and keep it inserted for at least 30 seconds. You should also insert your badge in order to speak or vote. To request the floor, please press the "request" button, just once. I also remind the Assembly that members who have not submitted an annual declaration of interests are required to start any intervention with an oral declaration of... 23/04/2026 | 11:16:18 (I made the same mistake; no card. "Thanks" [spoken in German].) Colleagues, It is a big privilege to close this debate, but we're not closing the whole process yet. Dear Mr Frank SCHWABE, thank you for standing up for this leadership in the discussion. Colleagues, I would like to remind you that we are just about to witness a historical moment. Indeed, in the coming meeting in Chișinău, Moldova, under the presidency of our colleagues, we will witness a historical moment of justice. The... 22/04/2026 | 18:56:15 Thank you, dear President. Colleagues, I'm sure that we will have a very fruitful debate. And I will try to start by thanking the rapporteur, Ms Lesia VASYLENKO, for every effort she has made, together with the Committee. Colleagues, it would not be hard to understand that this file is historic. 17 years ago, Mr MAGNITSKY gave up his life to speak up for the truth. He found very clear misuse of state funds, and those who convicted it have been enjoying, until today, these funds illegally... 21/04/2026 | 19:05:33 Thank you, dear President, I'm lucky to speak last, but not least, I hope. Colleagues, When we open Google search, it's very simple to see that the Russian Federation unfortunately destroyed hundreds of churches and more than 60 priests of different confessions and religions were killed, not just wounded. Recently in Ukraine, one of the houses of prayers works was completely destroyed, leaving dead and wounded. I think Mr Francesco VERDUCCI will reassess his leadership of this important paper... 28/01/2026 | 19:33:40 Thank you dear President, I would like to thank the rapporteur. I would like to start with citing the report: "In a global context, marked by ongoing wars and other major crises, it may seem that enhancing the socialising role of schools is not an immediate priority. Yet we must recognise that today's schools shape tomorrow's society". Indeed, colleagues, today's schools are shaping tomorrow's leaders. I would also like to take your attention outside of the Hemicycle. It is not a coincidence... 28/01/2026 | 18:27:38 'Thank you' [spoken in Dutch]. Thank you. If there are no objections – I see none – I will consider the amendment to be approved. Oh yes, I will have to ask again. Is there any objection, colleagues, in the Hall? I see none. Amendment one to the draft opinion is therefore approved and will not be called. We will now proceed to the vote, colleagues, on the Draft Opinion contained in Document 16309, and a two-thirds majority is required. The vote is open, colleagues. Colleagues, the vote is... 28/01/2026 | 18:21:25 'Thank you' [spoken in Greek]. Thank you. Colleagues, I must now interrupt the list of speakers. The speeches of the members on the speakers list who haven't managed to speak today can be given to the Table Office no later than four hours from the moment the list has been interrupted. So from now onwards, after four hours. Your speeches must not exceed 400 words and have to be typewritten text submitted to the Table Office electronically if possible. Again, not later than four hours from now... 28/01/2026 | 17:50:31 Colleagues, good evening. We will resume our session with the next item of business this evening and the debate on the report titled “Draft additional protocol to the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine concerning the protection of human rights and dignity of persons with regard to involuntary placement and involuntary treatment within mental healthcare services”, Document 16309. It is presented by Ms Carmen LEYTE on behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable... 27/01/2026 | 19:58:37 Thank you, Ms. Chair. [Applause] The debate is closed, colleagues. The Monitoring Committee has presented a draft resolution, Document 16310, to which no amendments have been tabled. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Document 16310. A simple majority is required. Colleagues, the vote is open now. The vote is closed, colleagues. I call for the results to be displayed: It's adopted: 63 in favour, 1 against and 2 abstentions. Congratulations, colleagues. [Applause...
