Death Penalty

Amnesty International's unwavering stance against the death penalty

A global fight for human rights

Amnesty International is an organization dedicated to promoting human rights worldwide. One of their core principles is the opposition to the death penalty, which they consider to be a cruel and inhumane punishment. Amnesty believes that all people have the right to life, regardless of the crimes they may have committed. They work tirelessly to end the use of the death penalty in all countries, through advocacy, research, and campaigning.

The death penalty: A violation of human rights

Amnesty argues that the death penalty is a violation of the right to life, which is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They also point out that the death penalty is often used disproportionately against minorities, the poor, and people with mental disabilities. In addition, Amnesty believes that the death penalty does not deter crime and can actually lead to more violence.

Working towards a world without the death penalty

Amnesty International is committed to working towards a world without the death penalty. They work with governments, activists, and individuals around the world to raise awareness about the issue and to advocate for change. They also provide support to victims of the death penalty and their families.
