75 years after the Hague Congress, let's strengthen the Council of Europe !
On 16 and 17 May 2023, the Council of Europe's Summit of Heads of State and Government will be held in Reykjavik, Iceland. This is the fourth summit in the history of the institution, and it takes place at a time when war has returned to the European continent following the Russian aggression against Ukraine. In order to face this aggression, Europeans are showing great solidarity with the Ukrainians.
Europe is above all a project of values. That is why the Council of Europe has historically been entrusted with the task of preserving democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights in order to guarantee peace.
Following the 1948 Hague Congress, the founding congress of the European Movement, the Council of Europe now needs the support of its member states to better carry out its essential tasks. This historic summit must push all stakeholders to increase their commitment to the Council of Europe and its founding convention, both in terms of values and budgetary contribution.
