Mr President, personally I have never taken an absolutist stance with regard to the death penalty, but surely it should only ever be countenanced in a handful of the most extreme and egregious criminal cases where the conviction is by due process and beyond all doubt.

Senhor Presidente, pessoalmente, nunca adoptei uma posição absolutista no que diz respeito à pena de morte, mas esta certamente só deveria ser tolerada numa mão cheia de casos, dos mais extremos e chocantes, em que a condenação penal está enquadrada no devido processo legal e sem margem para qualquer dúvida.
