The Death Penalty is a Violation of Human Rights

Are we playing gods? We completely forget humanity. Given the death penalty, it reminded me of Jesus, he once said when he faced the arrested women. The first stone was thrown to her. "(John 8: 7) This behavior clearly shows what Jesus believes that there is a problem with the execution of the death penalty as no one is innocent. Jesus did not say that adultery should not be a crime to be sentenced to death, but pointed out the problem of imposing such punishment.

The European Convention on Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Protocol 1) prohibit the death penalty. The ban on capital punishment can not be the reason for human rights abuses. It is also based on the belief that you can not use more violence to fight violence. The ban on capital punishment is also an indication of the reliability of judicial trials. History shows that there is always a judicial mistake and there is a risk of error that can be enforced. But the ban on capital punishment also proves the belief in the rights to life and dignity - and a fair trial

First, the death penalty of murder is an infringement of fundamental human rights. As for murder, the death penalty provides further protection to the society, but it is even more cruel and not essential. The exercise of power to people by nation is deliberately robbing of his or her life. But does the state have the right to declare him or her death and punish others? From the point of view of the critics, the answer is "no". (Death Penalty 5 Human Rights: Why is the abolition of the death penalty necessary? September 2007). The death penalty denies legal proceedings. Approval of the death penalty is incompatible with the law protecting human rights. Due to the color and unfairness of people, and the economic situation that compromises human rights, the practices of death sentences are varied.

The death penalty for drug offense is in violation of international human rights law. According to the United Nations Human Rights Commission, drug crime does not meet the criteria of "the most serious crime", and according to Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the death penalty may apply. The Philippines will also fulfill its legal obligations under the second Optional Protocol of the International Covenant on Civic and Political Rights, thereby seriously compromising the value of its promise. Furthermore, the International Drug Enforcement Treaty does not oblige imposing the death penalty to improve the health and welfare of the people of the Philippines (the main objective of the Convention).
