Surya’s comments from the Gig Harbor AP Language reads Dead Man Walking group.

as far as i m concerned, i do believe that death penalty should be abolished by all country.
further the ICCRP also prohibits death penelty.
At the international level, the most important treaty provision relating to the death penalty is Article
6 of the ICCPR. At the time the ICCPR was drafted (1947-1966), just ten countries had abolished
the death penalty, but extensive debate nonetheless took place as to its status under the covenant.
Article 6 of the ICCPR states:
1. Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one
shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life.
2. In countries which have not abolished the death penalty, sentence of death may be imposed
only for the most serious crimes in accordance with the law in force at the time of the
commission of the crime and not contrary to the provisions of the present Covenant and to the
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This penalty can
only be carried out pursuant to a final judgement rendered by a competent court.
