Parliament holds urgent debates on the following human rights, democracy and rule of law topics on Thursday morning, followed by votes later the same day.

The situation of journalists and human rights defenders in Mexico
Myanmar, one year after the coup
Destruction of cultural heritage in Nagorno-Karabakh

During each plenary session in the European Parliament, debates on cases of breaches of human rights, democracy and the rule of law may also give rise to motions for resolutions. These texts are generally tabled by a committee, apolitical group or at least 40 Members.

Human rights are fundamental values of the entire international community. More than 70 years after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first comprehensive international human rights document to set common standards to which all UN members should aspire, human rights have become a cornerstone of the international system and have reached almost universal recognition. However, much remains to be done in practice so that every human being can enjoy their fundamental rights.
