Brussels 20197th World Congress Against the Death Penalty
The 7th World Congress Against the Death Penalty is organised by ECPM in partnership with the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty to unite abolitionist actors around the world for the purpose of discussing and creating 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.
The World Congress is also an opportunity for abolitionist groupings to hold statutory meetings. The World Coalition will hold its General Assembly in the Orange Room on Tuesday, 26 February from 2pm to 5pm.
