On 8 April 2025, the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) is organising an exchange of views on the situation of press freedom in the world. The exchange will feature representatives from international organisations, prominent journalists’ federations and organisations and empirical testimony.

Holding an exchange of views on the situation of press freedom in the world comes at a crucial moment. In the current international environment, where press freedom and freedom of expression are increasingly being challenged, the DROI subcommittee aims to emphasize that the protection of journalists must remain at priority.

Additionally, through this exchange, DROI aims to highlight the integral role of journalists for the reinforcement of democracy, the rising trend of persecuting journalists and the importance of investigative news outlets that operate in adverse regions. The exchange also serves as an opportunity to assess the toolbox that the international community has at its disposal to effectively protect journalists.

On 8 April 2025, the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) is organising a public hearing on the "Human rights situation in Cuba". In the programme of the hearing – two main topics: 1) Human rights situation and fundamental freedoms in Cuba; 2) EU response, state of play and future perspectives.
Holding a public hearing on the situation of Human Rights in Cuba will allow DROI subcommittee to assess the current situation of Human Rights in Cuba, including the situation of the remaining political prisoners in the framework of the liberation of 553 of them under a Vatican-mediated deal.

Furthermore, the recent change of Administration in the USA makes it more urgent to monitor the Human Rights situation in the island, with U.S. President Donald Trump signing an omnibus executive order revoking 78 executive actions by the previous administration on 20 January 2025, including the revocation of the order of 14 January 2025 to remove Cuba from a blacklist of nations that sponsor terrorism and the reintroduction of sanctions that had contributed to the island's worst economic crisis in decades.

While peace negotiations on Ukraine have been reshaped since the election of US President Trump, Members of the DROI subcommittee, the Delegation to the EU-Russia Parliamentary Cooperation Committee and the Delegation to the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Association Committee will exchange on Monday 7 April with Mariana Katzarova, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Russian Federation and Oleksandra Matviichuk, Head of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize Centre for Civil Liberties.
Scheduled from 15.00 to 16.30, the exchange will focus on the importance, if peace is to be sustainable, of ensuring that human rights priorities are integrated into discussions on a potential peace arrangement in Ukraine and of supporting international justice for ensuring accountability of perpetrators of aggression, war crimes and other breaches of international humanitarian law. The debate will be an opportunity to recall that Russian Federation's breaches of human rights - such as torture, enforced disappearance, deportation, rape and acculturation of children - are not only a domestic issue but have profound implications for peace and security, in Ukraine and beyond the region. It is organised by the DROI subcommittee in association with the two delegations.
