This edited volume brings together leading scholars on the death
penalty within international, regional and municipal law. It
considers the intrinsic elements of both the promotion and demise
of the punishment around the world, and provides analysis which
contributes to the evolving abolitionist discourse. The
contributors consider the current developments within the United
Nations, the Council of Europe, the African Commission and the
Commonwealth Caribbean, and engage with the emergence of regional
norms promoting collective restriction and renunciation of the
punishment. They investigate perspectives and questions for
retentionist countries, focusing on the United States, China, Korea
and Taiwan, and reveal the iniquities of contemporary capital
judicial systems. Emphasis is placed on the issues of transparency
of municipal jurisdictions, the jurisprudence on the 'death row
phenomenon' and the changing nature of public opinion. The volume
surveys and critiques the arguments used to scrutinize the death
penalty to then offer a detailed analysis of possible replacement
sanctions.
