I welcome the ratification by the European Union of the Council of #Europe #IstanbulConvention and I urge all #CouncilofEurope member states to ratify and fully implement this landmark instrument to combat #ViolenceAgainstWomen and #DomesticViolence. #VAW #EU @coe

Good exchange with ENNHRI leadership today.
Independent and effective national human rights structures #NHRIs are close partners of my office and play a key role in addressing #HumanRights backsliding and ensuring the preservation of the values of the #CouncilOfEurope @coe.

I welcome the new law adopted in #Estonia which opens up marriage and makes registered partnerships effective for all couples, regardless of their sexual orientation. This is true #Equality.

Estonia becomes the 19th #CouncilOfEurope state to have #marriageequality.

Tolerance of human rights violations against refugees, #asylum seekers and migrants across Europe has reached alarming levels. Ahead of #WorldRefugeeDay, I call on @coe states to stand by their promise to recommit to #HumanRights protection – not in words, but in actions.

At Reykjavik #CouncilOfEuropeSummit, I stressed the need to pursue justice and accountability for the violations committed in the context of Russia’s war against #Ukraine and to address #humanrights backsliding and the erosion of democracy and the rule of law in member states.

After a rare summit of the Council of Europe, leaders vowed to hold Russia to account for its war against Ukraine.

Leaders of wider Europe approved a "Register of Damage" to document the damage in Ukraine caused by the Russian forces so Moscow could be held liable for compensation.

It comes after a two-day summit of the Council of Europe.

By early Wednesday, 40 countries had signed onto the creation of the register.

Kosovo has passed the first formal stage of joining the Strasbourg-based international human rights body, the Council of Europe.

The Ministerial Committee of the Council of Europe decided, with the votes of two-thirds of member states, to forward the Kosovan request for membership to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Serbia, which does not recognise the independence of its former province, voted against.
