Attacks in Paris: Statement by Thorbjørn Jagland
Forecourt of the Palais de l'Europe, Monday 16 November at noon. Staff members, delegations and Council of Europe institutions hold a moment of silence in tribute to the victims of the Paris attacks.
"I am shocked by the horrific attacks in Paris last night. Our solidarity and thoughts are with the people of France today and with President Hollande.
The terrorists aimed to attack our freedom, democracy and human rights. But Europe will stand strong in defending our common values".
