本報告書は日本、アメリカ、台湾、カリブ海諸国、シエラレオネ共和国及びイギリスにおける実例と調査結果から、世界的な動向を紹介するものである。国際人権法は、不当な有罪判決及び無実あるいは公正な裁判を受けていない人間への死刑執行の可能性を認めている。その結果、国際基準は死刑事件に厳格な基準を課すこと及びより高度な適正手続きを適用することを目指している。各国に対して死刑の適用において厳密な手続的規則の尊重を求める自由権規約及びその他の国際基準については、付録に記載した。

Il 1° novembre, nel corso della fiera Lucca Comics & Games 2014 verrà presentato Precious. La cosa più preziosa il primo gioco di ruolo sulla pena di morte, realizzato dall’Associazione Coyote Press con la collaborazione di Amnesty International Italia. La meccanica del gioco è accompagnata da un ampio saggio sul tema della pena capitale, realizzato dal Coordinamento pena di morte di Amnesty International Italia, che presenta dati e statistiche sul tema, casi per i quali si è attivata, spunti di informazione e discussione – dalla campagna contro la pena di morte ai diversi paradossi che questa porta con sé, la deterrenza, la discriminazione razziale e sociale, la negazione dei diritti. Il saggio è seguito da 10 ritratti di persone reali, coinvolte a vario titolo sul tema: condannati a morte, sostenitori della pena capitale, abolizionisti e attivisti per i diritti umani.
