Oslo 20166th World Congress Against the Death Penalty
The 6th World Congress Against the Death Penalty is organised by ECPM in partnership with the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty to federate abolitionist actors and to create new strategies towards universal abolition.

Since 2001, the World Congress has become an abolitionist event not to be missed.
During three days, it unites members of international civil society, politicians, and legal experts to elaborate abolitionist strategies for the years to come at the national, regional, and international levels, and to send out a clear message to the world: that universal abolition is essential for a world where progress and justice must prevail.
