Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Violation of the death penalty in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as an important international document, guarantees the fundamental rights of all human beings, regardless of race, color, gender, language, religion, political opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or any other status.
Article 3 of this declaration clearly states: “Everyone has the right to life.” This right cannot be deprived except by the judgment of a competent court for committing a crime recognized by law.
The death penalty, as the highest form of punishment, directly contradicts this article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights because:
Right to Life: The right to life is considered a fundamental and inalienable right. The death penalty takes away this right.
Irreversibility: Once the death penalty carried out, it is impossible to rectify judicial errors.
Torture and Inhumane Treatment: Some methods of carrying out the death penalty considered torture and inhumane treatment, which is itself a violation of the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
