"Mr President, I would like to say that I voted against the resolution on the death penalty. I would like to emphasise that in my country, Poland, the death penalty was abolished 19 years ago.
However, it is one thing to be opposed to the death penalty, and quite another to support fundamentalist abolitionists, who base their opposition to any punishment of people for their crimes on a profound conviction that man is not responsible for his actions. I am convinced that people are responsible for their actions and should answer for them and should be punished for them, because they have free will.
The conviction of fundamentalist abolitionists, that people do not have and do not possess free will, and consequently cannot be punished, is essentially based on contempt for humanity and a false legacy of the French Revolution."@en1
