The Death Penalty Is Cruel and Unnecessary

Position paper:

" The death penalty is cruel and unnecessary"

The death penalty is the most unjust justice method, this cruel punishment is ineffective because it does not solve the crime problem .

The death penalty , also called capital punishment , originates almost the appearance of humans on earth.

There were many means of implementation, some of the earliest still currently underway such as stoning and hanging other and were completely discarded , the cross, the guillotine and the garrote , used in Spain a few years ago . A death row inmate give you the chance to die sitting in the electric chair or the gas chamber , lying on the couch where he applies lethal injections , standing to be shot or hanged , what shape is not cruel an execution?

For Germany the right to life is a supreme good . Consequently, the Federal Government, in collaboration with its partners in the European Union for many years pursued an active policy against the death penalty internationally. Progress is significant : more and more States, including the more than 130 , no longer carrying out executions or have abolished capital punishment. About 95 % of the world 's executions occur in only seven countries already .

Germany deploys its efforts against the death penalty at various levels. In the framework of the United Nations Federal Government is actively involved in the adoption of UN resolution

Germany is to perform against the death penalty because it seems a cruel way to punish

The UN can decide to either promote the trend of abolishing capital punishment around the world, or preserve the sovereign ability of governments to decide how to seek justice. In either case, the committee must make a decision and push forward the development of international law

Exceptions: In countries where capital punishment takes place there is a need to decide whether teenagers, children, the mentally handicapped, and other types of people be excluded from capital punishment.
