"The
death penalty is the ultimate, irreversible denial of human
rights. By working towards the abolition of the death penalty
worldwide, Amnesty International USA's Program to Abolish
the Death Penalty looks to end the cycle of violence created
by a system riddled with economic and racial bias and tainted
by human error.Around
118 countries have abolished the death penalty in law or practice.
On average, in the past decade more than three countries a
year have abolished the death penalty for all crimes. Despite
international human rights standards, some nations still execute
people. Around the world, the death penalty is used as a tool
of political repression and a means to forever silence political
opponents or eliminate politically "troublesome" individuals.
China, Iran, the United
States, and Viet Nam account for 84%
of the executions recorded by Amnesty International in
2003."
