lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the American and British governments are preparing a general military offensive against Iraq, a small country of 19 million people, a member of the United Nations Organisation, in order to overturn Saddam Hussein’s government which they – the self-appointed global police – suspect of posing 'a threat to world security'. In doing so, they are violating the United Nations’ Charter, international law and, more generally speaking, people’s rights. Since the end of the Gulf War, America and Britain have, in fact, never called a halt to their air attacks on Iraq and have caused, by imposing sanctions – a genuine crime against humanity – the poverty and death of civilian populations and, according to the UN, the death of more than one million children. It is surprising that, although a number of countries, including the allies of the United States are dictatorships, Iraq, a Muslim country that is secular and tolerant towards religions and minorities – the Deputy Prime Minister is Christian and three government ministers are Kurds – is their number one target. It is also surprising that these western superpowers, paragons of democratic virtues, are preparing so cynically to breach the peace. You are against the death penalty for murderers, but the British and the Americans are going to murder thousands of Iraqis and their children. This preventative war is unacceptable and you are well aware that real reasons are immoral; in fact, this war is essentially for electoral purposes and to protect oil supplies."@en1
