Death penalty abolition refers to the movement to eliminate the practice of executing individuals as punishment for crimes. Advocates argue that it is inhumane, prone to errors, and does not effectively deter crime. Many countries and states have already abolished the death penalty, opting for life imprisonment instead. The debate surrounding death penalty abolition often includes discussions about human rights, justice, and the potential for wrongful convictions. Organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch actively campaign against capital punishment, highlighting its moral and ethical implications in modern society.
