lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this resolution confuses a number of different issues. To begin with, no distinction is made between our calls for the abolition of the death penalty in the Philippines and the matter of the trial of the young man who has been accused of such terrible crimes. These are two entirely separate issues. Those speakers who claim that this was an unfair trial are making a very serious accusation. They are claiming nothing less than that all the successive courts in the Philippines have ruled in error, and that the President of the Philippines does not wish to grant pardons to her people. This is a different matter altogether. There is a third issue at stake here, namely the question of what we are in fact demanding. As I see it, our priority should be to demand a fair trial. After all, if the trial in question was unfair, then this would constitute a crime. If the trial was in fact fair, then we could demand a reprieve from the death penalty, but we could not demand a complete acquittal for such terrible crimes, provided that they were in fact committed. We should therefore call for a reprieve, but we should not call for a complete acquittal until a fair trial has taken place."@en1
