Today's increased support for UN call for moratorium on executions at #UNGA75 signals that consensus is building towards ending #deathpenalty : “Countries which still practice executions must treat this as a wake-up call” @amnesty @khosla_rajat https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2020/12/un-opposition-to-the-death-penalty-continues-to-grow/
For the first time, #Djibouti #Jordan #Lebanon and #SouthKorea voted in favour of UNGA moratorium resolution, important step which we hope will be followed by full abolition of this cruel punishment @amnesty @khosla_rajat https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2020/12/un-opposition-to-the-death-penalty-continues-to-grow/
Our research has long shown that use of #deathpenalty is incompatible with #humanrights- "States who continue to sentence people to death are bucking international trends, and today’s vote shows that the death penalty’s days are numbered" @amnesty https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2020/12/un-opposition-to-the-death-penalty-continues-to-grow/
