It has English subtitles.<br /><br />The Professor claims, quoting chapter and verse, that the Lisbon treaty gives the EU institutions the power to introduce the death penalty in time of war or imminent threat of war -as well as the right to use lethal force in the circumstances you mention.<br /><br />His claim is contested but he was the advocate in the case before the German Constitutional Court which resulted in an injunction, restraining the Federal President from signing the original EU <br />constitution into German law.<br /><br />I also recently came across an MP who had conscientious objection to the death penalty but none at all to bombing Libya - something bound to cause the deaths and maiming of many innocent people.Edward Spaltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168350315689612490noreply@blogger.com
