Bill: Capital Punishment Act of 4208
Details
Submitted by[?]: Volkspartei für Freiheit und Demokratie
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 4210
Description[?]:
| In our opinion, everyone has an inalienable human right to life, even those who commit murder; sentencing a person to death and executing them violates that right. Public support for the death penalty does not necessarily mean that taking away the life of a human being by the state is right. There are undisputed historical precedences both in Darnussia and in Terra as a whole where gross human rights violations had had the support of a majority of the people, but which were condemned vigorously later on. It is the job of leading figures and politicians to underline the incompatibility of capital punishment with human rights and human dignity. |
