because until now, there are was not enough evidence to guarantee death penalty can work in
human without suffering. Moreover, people on death row are more affected mental illness than

regarding protect the human right. The use of capital punishment in Italy has been banned since
1889, with the exception of the period 1926-1947, regarding fascism in Italy and the early

impose a worldwide moratorium on capital punishment. Italy also pushed European Union for
UN General Assembly to vote on this capital punishment issue during a meeting of foreign
ministry on January, 11-12.

to join RECAP HUMAN RIGHT PROGRAMME which Reintroduction Capital
Punishment based on Human Right Agreement, Treaties, and Law Session.” as a
promotion media in order for making reform fundamental law, strengthening the
previous agreement, treaties, or law according to capital punishment, and ensuring
the states that there are another way to punish, except capital punishment.
2. Calls upon government, community leaders, education institution in the attempt to
encourage the societal learning process of capital punishment in order to raise

human right by influencing other states to support this action. Italy also believes there
are so many educational approach to make deterrent effect for every crime without
having capital punishment.
