World Coalition Against the Death Penalty

TRAINEE PROJECT FFPA DEATH PENALTY

on 27 February 2025

Comprising over 180 NGOs, bar associations, local authorities and trade unions, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty aims to strengthen the international dimension of the fight against the death penalty. Its aim is the universal abolition of the death penalty. To this end, it encourages the definitive abolition of death sentences and executions wherever the death penalty is in force. In some countries, it seeks a reduction in the number of capital crimes as a first step towards abolition.

The World Coalition strives to achieve these goals through the following means:

  • by supporting the work of its member organizations and abolitionist actors at local, national and regional levels;
  • coordinating international advocacy for the abolition of the death penalty worldwide.
