And us? What do we think?
The global perspective of the death penalty
The United Nations refuse to accept the Capital Punishment. Death Penalty is abolition of the human rights and life and, according to the United Nations,, reformative theory can be practiced rather than the deterrent theory.Looking into Indian prisoners, they have shown their creativity and a lot of handmade things in jail, which is something good, considering that it'll give them more possibilities once they will go out of prison. Contrary to the previous situation, in countries like China, around in 60% cases, Capital Punishment is applied and practiced.
At present, the death penalty is still in force in 58 countries around the world and in 56 of them it is still practised and in most cases it is governed by dictatorial regimes. In Europe, the death penalty only remains in force in Belarus. The same happens in some countries in Africa and Russia.
Why death penalty is a good method?
The death penalty is a sanction used since the origins of humanity as a response to the most heinous crimes, supported by philosophical and religious thought.
The death penalty is the only sanction that can guarantee proportionality to particularly heinous crimes
The death penalty is a type of sanction increasingly required, especially among young people
Firstly, death penalty is not human and ethically correct at all. People shouldn’t have the right of killing someone else, depriving another human being of life, and with it of all the possibilities the person would have had to live a respectable life. Being human entails having inalienable rights, which should be protected and defended, and which can’t be taken away from another person.
Secondly, it is irreversible and mistakes can happen. Execution is the ultimate, irrevocable punishment. The risk of executing an innocent person exists-. Since 1973, for example, more than 191 prisoners sent to death row in the USA have later been exonerated or released from death row on grounds of innocence. Others have been executed despite serious doubts about their guilt.
In addition, a huge amount of people encharged of executing prisomers, has left the job for the inhuman evil act they committed, claiming that, if they could change the past, they would for sure decide not to participate to this moral crime.
What's more, death penalty is just a sanitised form of vengeance. Vengeance remains a major ingredient in the public popularity of capital punishment, which is not useful and doesn't change what already happened.
The history of the death penalty
The death penalty was already present in ancient history, there is evidence of its application in some civilizations such as Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek and Roman and also in the Bible are described situations in which capital punishment is established as punishment for certain sins.
In the 10th century AD, this type of execution became customary in Britain and although William the Conqueror stopped this habit, then in the 16th they resumed executing people. Britain first influenced the United States but also other countries.
This led to abolitionist movements against the death penalty.
After the Second World War, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 which proclaimed the "right to life" absolutely. Knowing that the international abolition of the death penalty was not feasible, they shifted their attention to limiting the scope of the death penalty to protect minors, pregnant women and the elderly.
What is the death penalty?
The death penalty is defined as a capital punishment, and it is a sanction that consists in taking the life of a condemned person. It is a very heavy punishment and is imposed after a very serious crime.
Death Punishment is not the proper way to eliminate the crime from the society. It will not lead to decrease the crime rate but only remove the person from the society. It is important to understand the psychological aspect, in order to make the difference in the future of the world, without creating more violence. Studying people's behavior and psyche will help to understand why there is an increase in the rate of crime and which steps can be taken to reduce the crime rates.
