lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Nepal is home to 23 million people and it is one of the poorest countries in the world. Half the population of Nepal is unemployed, and 42% of it lives below the poverty line. The situation is further aggravated by the violation of fundamental human rights resulting from brutal fighting between Maoist rebels and government forces during the last nine years. Armed Maoist rebels control a significant proportion of the rural areas and over 12 000 people, half of whom were civilians, have died as a result of their activities. In an attempt to put an end to this lengthy conflict, the King of Nepal declared a state of emergency earlier this year. This led to the suspension of most civil rights and to the curtailment of freedom of the press and of expression. Since the introduction of the state of emergency, dramatic waves of arrests have taken place in Nepal, hundreds of political leaders and activists have been detained, and violence and murders have escalated. Women and children have also suffered during the years of war and violence in Nepal. They have been killed, illegally detained, tortured, raped or recruited to take part in military activities. At present, Nepal is relatively calm as there has been a temporary cease-fire, but the Nepalese authorities are unable to tackle the enormous problems facing them single-handedly. In my opinion, it will only be possible to restore democracy and the rule of law in Nepal with the help of the international community. I would therefore also like to call on the international organisations to help launch a constructive dialogue bringing together all parties to the conflict with a view to restoring the democratic political process and ensuring respect for human rights and civil liberties in Nepal."@en1
