lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to ask a question of Mr Posselt, for whom I have enormous respect. I am not an international lawyer, but I can see no evidence whatsoever that international law forbids caning. It is very clear that it forbids war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and so on, but caning, in my view, is not forbidden by international law. The Convention on Torture, which Malaysia has not actually ratified, says that caning could amount to torture but is not always necessarily torture. So could Bernd perhaps explain to me why caning is illegal – as he stated again and as it is stated in the resolution – and against international law. If we do not stick to the facts, we bring this House into disrepute, in my view."@en1
