“On 14 July, the day when France and the world celebrate the birth of the French Republic, when the call to ‘liberté, égalité, fraternité’ rings in the hearts of all democrats, the host nation of the Council of Europe has been the scene of another murderous attack. Our Organisation stands shoulder to shoulder with the French people and with our many French colleagues. We mourn the victims and stay resolute against the terrorists who seek in vain to destroy our values. Human rights and the rule of law are the bedrock of our democracies. Firm in our principles, we will prevail,” said Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland.
