Baku, 25 January (AzerTAc). Winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has today started in Strasbourg.
The session will highlight a number of issues, including discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, situation in the Middle East, combat against trafficking in human beings, judicial corruption, respect for media freedom, detention of asylum seekers and irregular migrants, and functioning of democratic institutions in Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
