• Resumen

  • On 28 January 2015, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a resolution on the “Terrorist attacks in Paris: together for a democratic response”. The Assembly expressed its sympathy to the families and victims of the January attacks at the offices of the Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher store in Paris. The attacks resulted in the deaths of 17 people, including a number of journalists, cartoonists, policemen and members of the Jewish community. The resolution described the attacks not only as “anti-semitic violence” and an “assault on freedom and expression”, but also attacks on the “very values of democracy and freedom in general”.
