Paus Benediktus XVI Dukung Penghapusan Hukuman Mati

 
printable version

Roma  - Pemimpin Vatikan, Paus Benediktus XVI menyatakan dukungannya terhadap penghapusan hukuman mati. Hal ini disampaikan Paus saat memulai konferensi di Roma.

"Saya menyatakan harapan saya bahwa pembahasaan ini akan mendorong inisiatif politis dan legislatif yang tengah dipromosikan di sejumlah negara berkembang untuk menghapuskan hukuman mati," ujar Paus di hadapan ribuan peserta konferensi, seperti dilansir kantor berita AFP, Rabu (30/11/2011).

Menurut Paus, penghapusan hukuman mati sesuai dengan martabat manusia. Dia juga memuji usaha sebuah kelompok Katolik bernama Komunitas Sant'Egidio dalam mengkampanyekan hal ini.

"Ada kemajuan substansif yang dibuat dalam hukum pidana sesuai dengan martabat kemanusiaan para tahanan dan efektivitas pemeliharaan ketertiban umum," tuturnya.

Saat ini, sekitar 139 negara di seluruh dunia telah menghapuskan hukuman mati. Namun, sebanyak 58 negara lainnya masih menjalankan hukuman mati, meskipun hanya 23 negara yang benar-benar melakukannya pada 2010.
