lpv:translated text	"Benjamin Franklin once said that ‘the US Constitution does not guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it’. Today, the citizens of Nepal cannot even count on being able to pursue happiness. Work on the constitution continues to drag on, and the main actors on the political stage, including the Maoist Unified Communist Party of Nepal, are not ready for compromise, while the army is still surrounded by an atmosphere of secrecy regarding how it is financed and the way it recruits. Meanwhile, at the opposite pole and far from the structures of the state, 30 million citizens are exposed to extreme poverty and illiteracy, and do not have access to electricity or communications. Nepal is stuck in a trap of poverty, and is squandering the natural potential of its strategic geographical location and exceptional natural features. Therefore, we appeal to the Nepalese authorities not to squander the 2008 peace agreement, but to strive consistently for promulgation of the new constitution, which would not only define the rights and responsibilities of citizens, but could become a symbol of a new democratic page in the history of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. As a Member from a country scarred by historical divisions, I understand what a difficult period is currently being experienced by Nepal. A constitution and international appeals will not guarantee the citizens of Nepal happiness, but may help them to pursue it."@en1
