29/09/2021 | 10:55:35 Thank you, Chair. I want to refer to everyone who is in this home to ask you to think. We here are talking about environment, but isn't it our task to think about the effect of that environmental change and threats to our lives and human rights? Is it our task here or not to actually make our member States be responsible for that damage that states and different companies can do to the environment? Can we impose new rules, maybe, to those states that really violate the rules around... 28/09/2021 | 11:46:40 Dear Chair, dear Rapporteur, dear speakers, I want to ask a question. Is it still in the capacity of States to actually ensure and overcome social and economic inequalities? Isn't it a shame that we even question that? Of course, the State should deal with inequality. Of course, the State should do everything to make people happy and to serve their needs. But when we think about what the purpose of the State is, depending on left, right, or centre ideologies, we may have different answers... 19/04/2021 | 17:48:58 Good afternoon to everyone. I would like to start with complimenting the report and saying that it's so good that we have this discussion. However, at the same time I can say that I'm very sad that in 21st century in Europe we are still having this conversation whether ethnic minorities are protected enough. Unfortunately, the reality that we have in Europe shows that there are many challenges that different ethnic minorities currently suffer, starting from access to health, COVID vaccine... 28/01/2021 | 12:50:16 Thank you so much, Well, I would like to speak in support of Roma communities and this question. Something which is particularly striking to me when reading the report is the number of times that Roma communities are specially mentioned as the victims of ethnic profiling in countries across Europe. The topic of systematic discrimination against Roma is not new, but the pandemic and COVID-19 and all the measures brought in to control created lots of problems for Roma communities. The number of... 28/01/2021 | 11:17:18 Dear colleagues, It goes without saying that big companies today increase their influence in our everyday life. This increased influence is actually an extra burden on them, especially in the field of very sensitive and important information. In 2010, a number of reports documented increased censorship in social networks and other communication platforms. This increase was often especially dramatic in authoritarian countries where censorship is a commonly used tool for preventing democratic... 27/01/2021 | 16:44:18 Dear colleagues. I want to ask you to think about one question. Do you think about what Europe you want to live in? Do you think what do you want to have in European countries in 10, 20 or 30 years? It's not a secret that unfortunately, disinformation being spread by the Russian Federation is influencing many in European capitals. It's also not a secret that Russian cash is unfortunately undermining Europe. Russia is interested in having a weaker Europe. I believe the Navalny case is the case... 29/01/2020 | 19:03:26 Dear friends and colleagues, I want to tell you that, whether we like it or not, this organisation, first of all, is about reminding everyone that we have a responsibility to protect the human rights situation. I want to remind you what the word impunity means. United Nations called impunity as a symptom of the breakdown of law and judicial systems. According to UNESCO, impunity damages whole societies by covering up serious human rights abuses, corruption and crime. Can we close our eyes...
