Death is not JusticeCall for entriesCreative Brief We want universal abolition of the death penalty in 2010.Its simple. The death penalty is a violation of human rights. Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. How does that t with beheading, stoning, hanging, lethally injecting or shooting someone?

The problem is that theres no going back on a death sentence. And in a world where every judicialsystem makes mistakes, its inevitable that innocent people will be executed. Which is simply notacceptable. More than two thirds of countries in the world agree, and have banned executions.Sadly, shamefully, 58 still persist in killing people in the name of justice.

In 2009, countries with the highest number of executions were Iran (with at least 388 executions),Iraq (at least 120), Saudi Arabia (at least 69), and the United States (52).In China information regarding the death penalty remains a secret, but estimates show that Chinaexecutes more people than the rest of the world combined.*

But there is hope - the number of people being executed around the world appears to be declining. And in December the United Nations will vote on a universal moratorium on the death penalty.Its a vital step towards abolishing the death penalty once and for all.

No matter whether you live in a country that practices capital punishment or not, we have to raiseawareness across the whole world that the death penalty is a violation of human rights that hasno place in modern society.

Message:The death penalty is not justice. I dont want it done in my name, my country, or our world.
