Parliament adopted its positions on updating European Works Councils and on several human rights resolutions, covering Kyrgyzstan, Crimea, Azerbaijan, and gender equality priorities for the UN.

  • European Works Councils: Parliament backed updating rules on European Works Councils to include older agreements and improve enforcement of information and consultation rights, with support from The Left, Greens, S&D, and Renew.
  • Human rights in Kyrgyzstan: MEPs condemned shrinking civic space and attacks on dissenting voices in Kyrgyzstan, urging release of arbitrarily detained individuals and respect for international obligations, with broad support including EPP and ECR.
  • Occupation of Crimea: Parliament condemned Russia's war of aggression and demanded withdrawal from Ukraine, calling for release of three detainees and a Special Tribunal, with support from most groups except Patriots and ESN.
  • Repression in Azerbaijan: MEPs demanded an end to crackdowns on civil society and independent media in Azerbaijan, urging EU sanctions on officials, with opposition from ECR and abstentions from ESN.
  • UN women's rights priorities: Parliament recommended EU priorities for the UN Commission on the Status of Women, reaffirming the Beijing Declaration and integrating gender equality into external action, with opposition from ECR, Patriots, and ESN.
