Death Penalty: Abolition, a Capital Issue
"A country passionate about freedom cannot retain the death penalty as part of its laws." These were the words with which Robert Badinter started his August 1981 plea in favor of abolition of the death penalty. A quarter-century later, the death penalty has definitively passed into history for France. The National Assembly voted Tuesday for the abolition to be inscribed in the Constitution. The fight, nonetheless, is not over. Sixty-nine countries still apply capital punishment, and, in about thirty others, the death penalty is still part of the law. The third Global Congress against the Death Penalty opened in Paris yesterday.
