18/04/2024 | 11:34:25 Honourable members, today we stand at a pivotal moment not only for Europe, but for the world at large. It is with a sense of urgency and a heavy heart that I address the environmental crisis we face. A crisis that demands immediate decisive action. Firstly, it is imperative that within our European continent we recognise a formal autonomous right to a healthy environment. This right transcends individual liberties, safeguarding not just the present, but ensuring the sanctity of our world for... 17/04/2024 | 17:07:43 Fellow colleagues, First and foremost I wish to commend the commitment and the approach taken by the rapporteurs. Their priority set a clear path forward focusing on the tangible steps needed to address and counteract the Russian totalitarian regime. I also want to express the words of support to Ms Yevgenia KARA-MURZA for bravely continuing to advocate for this cause her husband is committed to. However, it is critical to speak directly about the role of the Russian anti-war movement. While... 16/04/2024 | 16:30:33 Ladies and gentlemen, First of all, I thank the rapporteur Mr Lulzim BASHA for this important report and tremendous job done. Reconstruction is indeed an issue of great concern for the Ukrainians today. While enduring regular Russian missile and drone attacks on our homes and infrastructure, we always think of how we will rebuild everything. Not once this brutal war ends, but the sooner the better, as the destruction brings not only financial losses, but homes destroyed, industries halted... 26/01/2024 | 11:40:54 Fellow colleagues, I stand before you to address an issue of profound gravity. The plight of our children, especially those residing in Europe, the alarming instances of child abuse and institutions across Europe call for urgent collective actions. In this context, we urge our European partners to acknowledge and support our specific requests. First we call for rehabilitation abroad of status children: those who have been subjected to the worst forms of abuse and neglect. It is a humanitarian... 25/01/2024 | 18:52:27 Fellow colleagues, Freedom of expression and public participation are two pillars of our democracy. As Ukraine moves forward in our European integration process, it's imperative to recall that media reform was one of the initial steps to start in negotiations. At the same time, a key concern, also recently underscored by the World Economic Forum, is the escalating risks of disinformation, especially in the upcoming wave of crucial elections this year all over the world. As parliamentarians... 25/01/2024 | 11:14:44 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, I will be short. I'm grateful for all your support, all your words that you said today. I'm grateful to each of you for what your countries' parliaments and governments have already done for Ukrainian children. Our children have found refuge and safety in the member states of the Council of Europe, and are receiving comprehensive support from your countries. Thank you for that. I hope that this support will not fade away, but rather increase, because... 25/01/2024 | 10:06:51 Fellow colleagues, As we gather today, I'm compelled to address a matter that lies heavy on our hearts. The dire situation of the children of Ukraine amidst the brutal war of aggression. Our discussion revolves around a resolution aimed at safeguarding these young vulnerable lives who have witnessed unspeakable horrors. No child in Ukraine has been spared by this war. Many have lost their parents and relatives, suffered injures and endured traumas that no child should ever experience... 23/01/2024 | 18:27:30 If no one objects, I consider these Amendments to be rejected. Is there an objection? If there are, we will need to verify the objection has the required support of 10 people. Please, could those who object raise their hand? The request of the Chairman of the Committee is rejected. So each amendment will be taken individually in the order in which they appear in the compendium. We will now consider the remaining amendments individually. The amendments will be taken in the order in which they... 13/10/2023 | 12:15:39 Thank you Madam President. Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development, I would like to warmly congratulate the two rapporteurs, Mr Simon MOUTQUIN and Ms Diana STOICA on their excellent reports. As Mr Simon MOUTQUIN accurately points out in his report, young people's mental health and well-being are an impacted by a world faced with multiple crises and much uncertainty: a pandemic, wars and natural disasters, displacement, cost of living... 11/10/2023 | 17:37:38 Dear colleagues, Probably most of you carry your phones everywhere you go. We all improved our efficiency and connections with the outer world, but also we all enabled surveillance to an extent we have never seen before. Pegasus, this seemingly innocuous name, has a far-reaching impact on our fundamental human rights. It is a technology that can infringe upon the very essence of our right to privacy, a right enshrined in the Convention. Shall we become paranoid about the technologies that...
