lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the United States, we recall, is the country of the world which has had, for the longest time, an entrenched and justiciable bill of rights. It is therefore a horrible irony that the United States is one of the few countries in the developed world which still retains the use of the death penalty. We face today a particular case, that of Derek Rockwell Barnabei: each human being is an individual in her or his own right and must be stood up for as such. We appeal for his life today, but he is also a symbol of a practice which we find appalling and which we know to be going on in many parts of the United States. I am myself a great lover of the United States and many aspects of its way of life. I have been a frequent visitor to the law school of the University of Texas and to other law schools in the United States. I admire them very much, but I am really sad to see that state and its governor practising this so frequently and boasting of it in presidential campaigns."@en1
