PACE discusses the fate of missing persons due to the Russia’s war of aggression

NordenBladet —

Head of the Estonian delegation Kadri Tali thinks that it is appalling and unreasonable that regardless of the possibilities of technology, we still have to speak about disappearance of people in the 21st century. “It is the duty of us, Estonians, to show the world through telling our stories the sad and unjust fate a nation has experienced in its history. Each Estonian family has its own painful history to share. We know how important it is to stand up to injustice and not to wait for things to sort themselves out,” Tali said.

At today’s sitting, the PACE will hear the statement by the winner of the 2022 Václav Havel Human Rights Prize Vladimir Kara-Murza and a report on implementing the Reykjavik Declaration on the situation of Ukrainian children.

Tomorrow, the 90th anniversary of the tragic Holodomor of the Ukrainian people will be commemorated.

The autumn session of the PACE plans to discuss the threat of genocide faced by Ukraine, propaganda campaigns and freedom of information in Europe. There will also be debates on a shared European approach to address migrant smuggling, clarifying the fate of missing migrants, and the situation in Iran.

On Wednesday, the PACE will hold a debate on the detention and conviction of Julian Assange and their effects on human rights. The ensuring of human rights and the situation of rule of law in Azerbaijan, as well as the complicated living conditions of women and children in Gaza will also be discussed.
