Living in a world where more than 10.1 million people are held in penal institutions, many countries have decided to opt for a more cruel type of punishment. Capital punishment, one of the many issues on which multiple points of view have been expressed, has always been a human rights issue. Whether a man should punish another by taking his life or keeping him in prison is basically what concerns most people. Being completely unnecessary, cruel and sometimes even unjust, capital punishment should be abolished. Capital punishment is a legal process in which a person is put to death as punishment for a crime they have committed. Capital punishment has always existed in many different forms. The first death penalty laws date back to the 18th century BC. Today, 98 countries do not legalize this law under any circumstances, while another 42 have abolished it but still allow it with some obvious exceptions. There are therefore 58 countries in the world that maintain capital punishment. (Death Penalty Information Center). Being the subject of controversy, many large organizations have taken up the case to defend their cause before the government: NCADP (National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty) and WCADP (World Coalition Against the Death Penalty) are one of them . of the numerous organizations working for the abolition of capital punishment. Being legalized in many countries, capital punishment has several special laws and conditions followed by the government before execution. The main condition after which the death penalty is immediately considered is murder. All murderers therefore have a very high probability of losing their lives. First of all, Capital... middle of the paper... but it continues to scare and affect a very negligible part of society that still makes little difference. Also used incorrectly with the orders of justice, capital punishment has taken away many innocent lives who later proved irresponsible for the crimes of which they were accused. Capital punishment is therefore even responsible for the death of many innocent people, and being an irrevocable punishment makes the situation even worse. Human rights should hinder the government to prevent such wrongs and inhumane acts, punishment should certainly be considered again so that hopefully the right decision is finally made. Capital punishment should therefore no longer exist in these societies which today improve many different aspects of daily life to ensure the best life that human beings can ever lead.
