Berlin will hold the 8th World Congress against the death penalty in 2022. This was announced on the occasion of the World Day of Combating the death penalty head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany Haiko Maas, he quotes RIA Novosti.
he noted that the goal is the final getting rid of this “Relegation of the past.”
“The death penalty is a cruel and irreversible punishment, which Germany categorically rejects. It not only violates the right to life, but also incompatible with human dignity. Despite the international tendency to suspend and cancel the death penalty, more than 50 states are adhered to. And only some of them are responsible for the overwhelming majority of executions, “said Mas.
