Libreville, Gabon – The government of Gabon , after its weekly meeting on Friday, announced abolition of the death penalty, which has not been applied for over 20 years in the country, an official source told PANA.
The Gabonese Parliament is expected to ratify this decision in the next few days.
"Considering the fact that for over 20 years now, Gabon has renounced the effective application of the death penalty, the Council of ministers has decided to abolish this penalty in our country," said a statement of the ministerial council meeting issued Saturday.
It said the decision to abolish the death penalty was motivated by an "expressed request" from President Omar Bongo Ondimba.
"The minister of Justice was instructed to make all the necessary arrangements for the abolition of death penalty," the statement reiterated.
Gabon was expected, on the request of the French and Spanish governments and the European Union (EU) to "co-initiate a draft resolution on the abolition of the death penalty, to be presented by the EU at the 61st general assembly of the UN in September," the statement explained.
Could anyone explain to me why nations that still practice state-sponsored murder have higher civilian murder rates than nations that don't? I mean, isn't it all deterrence?
I think a society violent and evil enough to murder it's citizens just breeds more criminals along with things.
