Den øgede udbredelse af dødsstraffen overalt i verden og de hyppige offentlige henrettelser, som Amnesty International og Human Rights Watch beretter om, bør drøftes meget alvorligt her, og vi må til stadighed gøre en indsats for at sensibilisere Parlamentet og Unionens øvrige institutionelle organer til at tilrettelægge verdensomspændende kampagner for afskaffelse af dødsstraffen.
The increase in the imposition of the death penalty and the frequent public executions, as mentioned by Amnesty International and the Human Rights Agency, must concern us greatly and must make our Parliament, and other institutional bodies of the European Union, sensitive to the situation, so that it will engage in campaigns on a global scale for the abolition of the death penalty.
