Capital Punishment

I . Introduction

There are several queries which came up in my inquisitive mind and try to discover and comprehend what are the possible grounds which the judiciaries are basing his /her verdict and judgment in giving capital punishment to a defendant or the accused himself . Capital punishment is the heaviest and most depressing sentence for the accused thus , it ends his chances to change . Come to think of it , the accused will not be given a chance to renew himself and become

a better citizen in our country . Several countries around the globe are in favor of it and even legalized it . But do we really have the rights to execute death penalty to an accused ? Is this act not a violation of human rights ? Where did death penalty start ? Does it really help lessen the growing crimes ? Or can 't we just find another alternative to lessen crimes ? These are some of my queries and up to now , I am trying to understand both arguments of pro and anti . I do understand why there are group of people support this kind of penalty or sentence . These are the group of people who want justice for those who are badly treated , abused and harmed and most of these people also undergone such mistreatments or maybe their love ones But how about if the accused is not really the one who commit the crime is just frame up and does not have enough evidences to prove he is not guilty of it ? And in practicing such law , does death penalty will not show biases and prejudices of whom the judiciaries will give such sentence ? Furthermore , according to others that death penalty is the best way to control and lessen crimes . It has been an argument not only in the United States of America but as well as around the globe . The death penalty is well-thought-out by most cultured and enlightened nation-states as an inhumane and callous sentence or chastisement . In addition , death penalty has been de facto by 106 countries and since 1990 , there were about 30 nation-states which have put an end to it Moreover , the death penalty has continuously put into practice in some nations such as the Democratic Republic of Congo , the United States of America , Iran and China which are the most profuse executioners in the globe . However , international official s have constrained and in several circumstances even banned the death penalty , its function and relevance does not contradict customary international law . Ample debates have continued in the United States of America as to whether it comprises a suitable chastisement at least to the most dreadful crimes (see Human Rights : Death Penalty .
