Death Penalty Moratorium Backed by Majority at UN (Update1)
By Bill Varner
Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) -- A majority of governments in the United Nations General Assembly voted today to support a global moratorium on the death penalty, over the objections of the U.S., China, Iran and Sudan.
The non-binding resolution, adopted by a vote of 99 members in favor, 52 against and 33 abstaining, asks all governments in the world body to ``establish a moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty.'' The measure says the death penalty ``undermines human dignity'' and that there is no conclusive evidence of its deterrent value.
``It is important to recognize that international law does not prohibit capital punishment,'' U.S. envoy Robert Hagen said after the vote. The U.S. urges countries that use the death penalty to ``do so in conformity with their international human rights obligations and to ensure it is not applied in an extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary manner,'' Hagen said.
The vote came amid a growing debate on the death penalty in the U.S., where 1,099 executions have taken place since 1977. The Supreme Court has brought a virtual halt to executions by lethal injection, by far the most widely used method in the U.S., while considering whether it violates constitutional prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment.
