For human rights issues, the chief said that many countries believe that this right is under their national sovereignty, but from their point of view it does not match human dignity and the rights of life.
The High Commissioner said this while discussing the contribution of the judiciary to the Turk -human rights propaganda.
He said that in the 21st century there was no place for death. In recent years, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and the United States have been the most punished.
The latest UN data shows that in 2021, there are 5 to 5 countries death sentence, which has increased by 5 percent compared to 2022. Also, this is the highest number of all time in the last eight years.
He caught the attention that the death sentence in 2021 and 2022 increased by 5 percent. These statistics do not include China’s cases, “where there is a lack of transparent information and statistics regarding death punishment.”
The High Commissioner called for the Turk Chinese administration to change the policy in this regard so that it could be eliminated.
Active attempts for elimination
It is reported that the death penalty cannot be justified under the International Human Rights Act for drug -related crimes, but more than 5 percent of the death sentence is for the crime. This is the last number after 2016.
This ratio has increased rapidly in the last two years and has been given every Iran in Iran.
Despite the increase in global death sentence cases, efforts are also being made to eliminate this punishment in many countries, where developing countries in the Southern Hemisphere are playing an important role.
Six countries have completely banned the death sentence, among them 26 African countries, including Zimbabwe. Zimbabwean President Imran Mangagwa approved the law in the last days of 2021.
Bholkar Turk said that from the point of view of elimination, not to be executed for judicial reforms and to use your consideration for less serious offenses.
Malawi and Malaysia have implemented these reforms, which causes less death sentences. Also, the action of fair cases worldwide will refrain from prove the crime in any wrong way.
The Human Rights High Commissioner urged all countries to voluntarily ban the punishment, calling for the entire eradication of the death penalty. Also, it must be confirmed that the death penalty has only been given for the most serious crime.
