lpv:translated text	"On 5 February, the International Court of Justice in The Hague delivered its verdict in a case brought by the Mexican Government against the United States of America, a case concerning three Mexicans, −in fact, fifty-four \u8722\'2d but three Mexican citizens in particular: Cesar Fierro, Roberto Ramos and Osvaldo Torres, who have been sentenced to death and are sitting on Death Row in Oklahoma and Texas. Whilst we are of course opposed to the death penalty in any country, there is more to this case than that, as the three Mexican citizens were prevented from receiving the help that is lawfully their due, in the shape of consular support from their own government. The authorities of the State of Texas reacted in an even more diabolical way, stating that the Court of Justice could not stand in the way of the executions. This is something about which the European Parliament has, of course, a certain tradition to live up to, and I commend to your consideration, along the lines of the attempt made earlier by Baroness Ludford, the possibility of writing to the governor of Texas about this. Let me, in addition, take this opportunity to endorse what Mr Dupuis has just said with regard to the situation in Cambodia. The democratic opposition leader Sam Rainsy has now gone into hiding, accused of plotting to bring down the government. There is of course not a shred of truth in this, and I think that we should do something about this as well."@en1
