Parliament adopted five resolutions on human rights and political crises, condemning repression in Georgia, Nicaragua, and Türkiye, violence in the DRC, and blasphemy charges in Nigeria.

- Violence in eastern DRC: Parliament condemned Rwandan-backed M23 violence, demanding Rwanda cease support and M23 withdraw, disarm, and stop illegal mining. It urged EU sanctions on Rwandan officials and mineral traceability. Most groups backed it.
- Dismissals and arrests of mayors in Türkiye: Parliament condemned the replacement of elected mayors with state-appointed trustees, citing cases like Siirt's mayor, and called on Türkiye to let elected officials serve. It asked the EU to consider sanctions.
- Repression in Nicaragua: Parliament condemned systematic rights violations by the Ortega-Murillo regime, including persecution of the Catholic Church, and rejected the 2025 constitutional reform. It called for ICC investigations and expanded EU sanctions.
- Blasphemy charges in Nigeria: Parliament called on Nigeria to release Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, repeal blasphemy laws, and impose a moratorium on executions. It urged the Commission and member states to raise the case.
