Council of Europe retweeted
SRSG Irene Kitsou-Milonas emphasised the strategic role of living together in addressing today’s challenges - a vision also reflected in the @coe’s “New Democratic Pact for Europe” -at the 7th World Forum on #InterculturalDialogue in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Council of Europe retweeted
I strongly condemn the appalling Russian attack on Dnipro railway station, killing at least 14 people on a platform where passenger trains were standing.
My thoughts are with the victims, their families and all those injured.
Attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure are unacceptable. Those responsible must be held to account.
There can be no impunity for crimes committed in Ukraine. And no peace without accountability.

Norway has made progress in tackling hate crime and online hate speech, says a new report by @ECRI_CoE.
The report also calls for further efforts to promote inclusion in schools, improve equal access to healthcare, and strengthen protection against racism and discrimination.
Hundreds of thousands marched. Students walked across cities. Others cycled nearly 1,400 km from Novi Sad to Strasbourg to make their voices heard.
During the @COECongress, a Serbian student shared the story of a generation that chose civic engagement, solidarity and democratic participation in the face of adversity.
Young people's voices deserve to be heard, their rights protected, and their ideas taken seriously.
Council of Europe retweeted
Student protests, elections, the Council of Europe reform: important questions raised at the @CoECongress session yesterday.
How can we respond to growing distrust in democratic institutions? What role can local and regional authorities play? And how can the Council of Europe adapt to the challenges of today?
Watch my full statement and Q&A here: youtu.be/agq0sTD5Svo
