lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, many people are today discovering the indescribable misery that has been created among the Iraqi population over the last ten years by the embargo. We have tried to explain this to Parliament, in over thirty speeches in public session, but we have tried in vain. Yet it is not too late to stop the infernal machine which, having caused the collapse of the CFSP and created discord within the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance, is now threatening the peace of the world. War, the scourge of humanity, was outlawed by civilised nations and the League of Nations and then the United Nations Organization made it their principal objective to re-establish and protect peace. Only legitimate defence can justify having recourse to arms. Who can really believe that Iraq, a small country which has been bled dry and ruined, could threaten the United States and Great Britain, which are a hundred times or a thousand times more powerful? Iraq has been summoned to prove its innocence, but we know that that is a diabolical demand, because in law it is for the accuser to prove guilt. Contemptible, discreditable processes have been used to justify this aggression. Mr Blair dared to present as evidence to the House of Commons a document stolen from a student and dating from ten years ago. Colin Powell, too, authenticated it before the Security Council. Even when their deception was discovered, neither of them drew the obvious conclusion, namely resignation. If, despite the opposition of their people, this premeditated crime is committed, then let the war criminals be condemned, and let the blood of the children of Iraq be on their hands."@en1
