From migration to tackling online violence against women and girls, all these issues require a united European response. Through multilateralism and instruments such as the ECHR and the Istanbul Convention, we can deliver concrete outcomes for the democratic security of our continent.
The upcoming Council of Europe Ministerial Meeting in Chișinău is crucial, and Ireland, as a founding member, plays a key role. Thank you for a very engaging discussion, Minister @OCallaghanJim.

We are moved by the dresses, skirts and other pieces of clothing contributed by Ambassadors and members of the Istanbul Convention’s monitoring body during the 🇳🇱 pre-launch. Donated in solidarity with survivors of sexual violence, the clothes will become part of the art work.

Very concerned about a new law adopted in Hungary today which restricts #FreedomOfAssembly and provides the basis for banning events like #Pride marches. I call on the President of #Hungary to veto the law.
