The death penalty must be abolished worldwide. Here are some words to describe the death penalty: inhumane, ineffective, immoral, uncivilized, cruel, torture, brutal, barbaric, unjust, and degrading. We must strive towards complete abolition of the death penalty globally. The death penalty is a blatant violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which apply to all human beings. Nobody is discriminated against. Everyone has the human right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhumane and degrading punishment/treatment.
