(IPS) - In the 13 years since its birth in Italy, the global campaign to abolish the death penalty has convinced more than half the countries in the world of its cause.
For them, however, that is not enough. Their goal is a total worldwide ban on the practise.
To that end, they are pushing the European Union to back an Italian initiative at the United Nations current sessions for a resolution asking all countries to work towards a full, universal moratorium on executions.
