UN calls for immediate ban on death penalty in Pakistan

Man, just leave us in peace. We'll just figure it out. -
So the U.S. and U.N. can be accused of "abandoning" Pakistan again?

I think both the U.S. and the U.N. want to see a Pakistan at peace. But withholding monetary and military and civil government aid - do you really want that?

UN cant solve core issues like occupation of Gaza or indian occupied kashmir?

Has the SG ever reprimanded China for the numbers of criminals it executes every year? I recall complaining to one Chinese student about the huge population of criminals in American jails. He responded that America should learn from China and execute more convicts (he lived in a bad neighborhood).

What about the right of citizens to live free from fear of murder and terror? In a torn and corrupt society like Pakistan jails too often provide security for criminals, not citizens; executions may. Yet I'm not sure what's right here: the justice system in Pakistan is not a good one, in my opinion. There has to be some sort of balance. Why not call for an end to capital punishment AND a revision of Pakistan's justice system: more accessible courts (not just English), marshals, grand juries, circuits, and a jury system?

So much BS .. if you have love for mass murderers,rapists,terrorist scum.. you should as your govt (israel- or even USA) to take these SOBs to your country.. we dont want em..

Stop searching for the magic overlord, dude.

Stop BS'ing dude.... UN is a piece of shit organisation that cant do jack... cant stop wars,cant solve dispute etc.. its just an assembly of a bunch of limp d..ks!

Nah man. Just leave us alone. On the contrary, we'll thank you.

Agreed. No more civilian/military aid. You'll do us a huge favor. In fact, I'll send you some flowers.

No country gives a sod about UN. Why should we? There are cruel sentences to criminals in the west than what we have in Pakistan. We need even tougher punishments than what we have in our law. UN should stop pimping for the west and stop trying to exercise their whatever left of its power on weakened countries. Better shut it down!

ISLAMABAD: The United Nations (UN) has urged Pakistan to immediately reinstate the moratorium on death penalty, expressing deep concern at the increasing number and pace of executions in the country since December 2004.
“The right to life is a fundamental human right. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has stated that the death penalty has no place in the 21st century,” said a statement issued by the UN office on Thursday.

“It has also been reported that among those executed there are persons who were minors when the offence was committed. According to some estimates, there are more than 8,000 prisoners on death row,” the statement added.
The UN in Pakistan is concerned about cases where the death penalty was handed to minors but welcomes reviews of these cases, i.e. the recent case of Shafqat Hussain.

The statement said the UN has consistently called for an unequivocal end to the execution of anyone, anywhere, who is convicted of committing a crime when they are under the age of 18.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein has expressed deep regret at the resumption of executions in Pakistan, stressing that no judiciary – anywhere – can be infallible.

He noted in December 2014 that “this is particularly disappointing given that just last week, a record 117 States voted in the UN General Assembly (Resolution 69/186 was adopted on 18 December 2014) in favour of an international moratorium on the use of the death penalty.”

“There is no scientific proof that the death penalty serves as a deterrent or contributes to combating crime or violent extremism,” it said.

While the UN appreciated the need for effective counter-terrorism measures to protect people, including children, such actions must strengthen human rights and be proportionate and necessary in a democratic society.
Under international treaties, in particular the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Pakistan legally committed itself to ensuring due process and not imposing the death penalty.
“Moving away from the death penalty will contribute to human development, dignity and rights,” the statement maintained.
“The UN in Pakistan, therefore, urges the government to reinstate its moratorium as soon as possible. We stand ready to support it in doing so and to assist in strengthening the existing justice system if so requested.”

Where is the UN why Kashmir resolutions are not enforced? Where is UN when 40,000 civilians have been killed by terrorists in Pakistan?

Not only should wahabi terrorists be hanged, they should be tortured a little as well.

Their families must be investigated and if they're sympathizers, they must be dealt with as well. Simply killing them will only lead to their families wanting revenge.

They should be used for something useful like organ harvesting and biological experiments.

AIDS researchers could use live human subjects. I'm serious.

I am serious too. Anyone who decides to violate another human being's human rights doesn't deserve human rights for himself.
