I strongly condemn the desecration of the Jewish cemetery in Westhoffen, eastern France. We must take all measures to fight increasing anti-Semitism on our continent. This is imperative for the Council of Europe and its member states. Jewish life and heritage are part of our European identity and Jews in Europe must be able to live without fear. More...In a live television interview on German broadcaster Deutsche Welle, Secretary General Marija Pejčinović Burić has highlighted the key role of the Council of Europe in countering a rising trend of anti-Semitism and online hate speech in Europe and further afield.

Ces deux dernières années, la croissance mondiale et les perspectives futures n’ont cessé de se détériorer, sur fond d’incertitudes persistantes sur la direction des politiques publiques et de faiblesse des flux d’échanges et d’investissement.

C’est celle du paysan du delta intérieur du Niger, qui n’est pas certain de trouver une administration fiable pour attester de la propriété de son champ ou de fonctionnaires capables de protéger son cheptel des épizooties.

From a baby's first words to the greatest literature, our ability to connect and express ourselves through language is an essential part of our humanity. Without words, how can we express our feelings, care for our families and loved ones, build prosperous and fair societies, or fight for our rights. More...In its first report on implementation by France of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (the Istanbul Convention”) the Group of Experts (GREVIO) welcomes the authorities’ commitment and efforts in this field. It also underlines a number of shortcomings and recommends that measures be taken to offer greater protection for victims and their children, for example by increasing the number of specialised accommodation facilities, and that the perpetrators of violence be prosecuted. More...The concept of European Citizenship is a dynamic and complex idea deeply connected with the ideals of democracy, participation and human rights in Europe. Formal and non-formal education play a key role in promoting it to young people, engaging them in discussions about European topics, encouraging them to vote in elections and empowering them to become agents of social change.
