  World Congress Against the Death Penalty
  Article by Thomas Hubert & Tiziana Trotta published on June 12th, 2013
  The World Congress is taking place in Madrid between 12-15 June 2013. 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 Coalition and its members have taken part in the preparation of the Congress's academic programme. Read more about key issues debated by the participants:
