Abstract

The current state practices and the role of the United Nations and other regional organisations clearly advocate the abolition of death penalty. The abolitionist movement is strengthening without giving due attention to the nature, seriousness, or brutality, of crime. They believe that death penalty is brutal, cruel, immoral, unreasonable, oppose to the sanctity of life and it involves the risk of innocent execution. They further believe that since, it does not have any differential deterrent effect life imprisonment is sufficient. Throughout the article an attempt has been made to evaluate and ascertain the strength of these allegations. In-depth study and research on the respective grounds of allegation reveals that these grounds are, no way, strong and relevant enough to justify the position of the abolitionists; rather the reality deserves that the death penalty should not be abolished for all kinds of crime.
