Quotations

"The role and the fundamental objectives of the Council of Europe have never been called into question, and it continues to play an essential part in the process of European unification. Over the decades this organisation has carried on its work behind-the-scenes, patiently and persuasively consolidating the noble culture of human rights, democracy and the rule of law, while at the same time giving major social issues all the attention they deserve." (Nov. 7, 2002; photo 2007 cornishong wiki)
