#CouncilOfEuropeSummit
The Vienna Summit (October 1993) was the first to bring together Council of Europe country leaders to set new directions for the organisation in the 90s as ex-Soviet countries embraced human rights, democracy and the rule of law.

Spot on @DmytroKuleba! It‘s remarkable how rich our common history is and how deep those roots lie. The relationship between the Nordic countries and Ukraine is strong. Iceland is proud to be a friend to Ukraine and I am honored by your friendship, dear Dmytro.
Big thanks to everyone who joined us last night in the Strasbourg cathedral for Johannespassion à trois with Icelandic tenor Benedikt Kristjánsson , Philipp Lamprecht & Elina Albach 🎼
Happy to speak and participate in @VeniceComm first plenary meeting this year. Brings together constitutional experts from across @coe member states and beyond. #RuleofLaw, #democracy#HumanRights. 🇩🇰 strong support for important work of #VeniceCommission
7⃣5⃣ years ago, over 750 delegates from around Europe took part in the historic steps towards European unity at the Congress of Europe in The Hague.

Important exchange on #accountability for Russia’s aggression against #Ukraine with @IntlCrimCourt@UN_HRC Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine @coe@jowicz & Prosecutor General of Ukraine
We agree with @AndriyKostinUa that momentum is now to act united for justice & accountability
Devastating news from Türkiye & Syria. My thoughts are with those who lost their loved ones in the terrible earthquake and those who still fear for their family, friends and neighbors. Together with our partners, we stand ready to provide assistance.
⏲️Let the #countdown begin!
Today marks 100 days until #4thCoESummit
On #RoadToReykjavik, we strive to strengthen & reinforce the Council of Europe so it's better equipped to continue to play its crucial role as the region's guardian of human rights, democracy & rule of law.
"The ultimate goal is a just peace that respects international law & the sovereignty & territorial integrity of #Ukraine. Justice also requires #accountability & @coe should address justice & accountability for Russia's aggression at the #4thCoESummit"

In reply to❓from @Fiona_Kildare on female participation, @katrinjak encouraged states to make structural changes like shared parental leave & universal childcare so all women can participate – not just the few at the top – cause that is real #GenderEquality
At @coe@PACE_News
Huge 🙏 to everyone who joined us - in person and online - for launch of the work on the drafting of a new @coe Committee of Ministers recommendation on equality of rights of #intersex people 💜💛

PM @katrinjak said this evening;
“In Iceland, we write about fish, we draw about fish, we think about fish, we dream about fish.” 🐟🐠🐡🎣
And you can taste the passion!
Thank you @IcelandCoE for a delicious introduction to Icelandic cuisine tonight 😋
