Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland and the European Union’s High Representative For Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, have published a joint statement to mark the European and World Day against the Death Penalty on October 10.
The statement reaffirms both organisations’ strong opposition to capital punishment in all circumstances, and underlines that the death penalty is incompatible with human dignity.
