Should people who commit crimes be treated differently to those who

Article 3 – the Right to Lifehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNOD2Dnyt2k
97 countries have abolished capital punishment because of human rights and the UN. There is
increasing pressure for more countries to follow. Article 3 is said to be one of the major reasons
why. So we need to decide if capital punishment
undermines article 3 or not.

Criminals have lost their right to life by
destroying the life of someone else
All humans deserve the right to life no
matter what they have done
We should never give up hope that people can change – killing
them means we have given up
Human rights should not apply to people
that act in an inhuman way
