Der, hvor man ikke kan afskaffe dødsstraffen, er det i det mindste nødvendigt at opnå, at den ikke anvendes. Desuden er der et mærkbart fald i antallet af politiske fanger og en stigning i antallet af ratifikationer af FN's instrumenter vedrørende menneskerettigheder.
Where it is not possible to abolish the death penalty, we need to at least reach at a situation in which it is not applied, as well as a considerable reduction in the number of political prisoners and an increase in the number of ratifications of United Nations Human Rights instruments.
