lpv:translated text	"At this time when we are about to vote on the resolution on the rights of the child, I wish to declare the importance which I attach to this legislation. This vote has nothing to do with any others in which I have participated during this session. It reminds me of my motive for taking up politics, which may be summed up as follows: to improve, as far as may be possible, the daily lot of human beings! This may seem presumptuous, given the scope of the task, but it is my profound conviction. And even though I know that this vote will not radically change the tragic situation of thousands of children here or elsewhere, it does testify to the political will of this Parliament to make progress! Declaring that it is intolerable for children to be forced to go to work instead of to school, for children not to be able to eat their fill, for children to be sold as if they were marketable goods, for children to be the victims of adult physical or moral violence, already represents a great step forward, one which must of course be put into effect in our policies and our daily life! Let us act like responsible men and women (politicians)! The Convention whose anniversary we are celebrating today has made it possible to achieve considerable progress since it places the child at the centre of the debate! Children are human beings; they are people with rights. We must respect them, protect them, educate them and love them!"@en1
