During the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe, a Serbian student shared the story of a generation that chose civic engagement, solidarity and democratic participation in the face of adversity.

Young people’s voices deserve to be heard, their rights protected, and their ideas taken seriously.

I welcome the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize award to the ICC and its officials. This is a powerful show of solidarity with an essential institution in the fight against impunity and for justice for victims of atrocity crimes. International institutions that uphold the rule of law and protect human dignity must be protected.
