World Day against the death penalty: the world decides!

Posted by Thomas Hubert on 2007/6/29 22:00:00 (45141 reads)

On October 10th, 2007, the World Day against the Death Penalty focussed on the proposed UN General Assembly resolution for a universal moratorium on executions. The proposal would save lives and give the population of retentionist states an opportunity to see for themselves that a pause in death sentences does not lead to higher crime rates.

A resolution by the UN highest political body would be an important international milestone in the campaign to abolish the death penalty worldwide and would carry considerable moral weight.
This initiative has already gathered the support of 5 millions people worldwide.

You can support the momentum to end capital punishment and ask your country to support this resolution. View the programme, which summarizes all the events held in your country, or subscribe to the World Day's RSS feed by clicking here.

	Re: Journée contre la peine de mort : le monde décide! Oui il faut lutter contre cete peine de mort barbare. Toute vie est comparable à celle d'un dieu en soi et sacrée. Ce n'est pas à un état de prendre la place de Dieu pour condamner un homme ou une femme à la mort. Un jour viendra où cette peine d'un autre âge ne sera pus qu'un témoignage historique abadonné à jamais dans une poubelle dont on aura pris soin de sceller le couvercle. Je suis de tout coeur avec les abolitionnistes de cette horreur.

	Re: Journée contre la peine de mort : le monde décide! il faut rendre la peine de mort universellement illégale, et la faire condamner par la communauté internationale, et reconnaître sa pratique comme barbare et degradante.
