Abolition of the Death Penalty - New 'De Facto' Millennium Goal
By IPS Correspondents

MADRID, Oct 7, 2010 (IPS) - Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero announced Thursday the creation of an International Commission Against the Death Penalty, whose immediate goal is a global moratorium by 2015, to put an end to what he described as the "horror" of capital punishment.

The 10-member Commission was formally established Thursday in Madrid, ahead of the World Day Against the Death Penalty, commemorated on Oct. 10. It is presided over by former UNESCO director general Federico Mayor Zaragoza.

(中央社巴黎2010年10月10日法新電)全球多國政府和反對死刑的社運人士今天呼籲世界各國停止死刑,特別批判美國、伊朗和中國,也譴責對孩童和其他弱勢族群執行死刑。
總部設在巴黎的「世界反死刑聯盟」(World Coalition Against the Death Penalty)今天舉行敦促全球廢除死刑活動,日本街頭出現抗議聲浪,是打頭陣響應的呼聲之一。到上個月為止,日本共有107名死囚。
