Capital Punishment Law and Ethics

The death penalty, sometimes known as capital punishment, is the ultimate sanction in every lawful and democratic society. However, if you kill a citizen in the name of the law, you have committed murder. We should stop looking for the perpetrator and instead concentrate on safeguarding against future abuse. Over a thousand people are executed in China every year, while in India, the death penalty is seldom used and sentences are often reduced to life in prison. There are similarities between the two countries in terms of procedure, capital punishment, and statutes, but in China, once the death sentence is imposed, it cannot be reversed. In light of these considerations, the United Nations UN has officially declared its opposition to capital punishment. The United Nations has also declared that executing an innocent person in the name of justice is incompatible with human dignity. Humans have no right to choose who lives and who dies. Thats why its preferable to take an alternative tack, like the reformative one, rather than executing a criminal so that he might make amends and go on with his life peacefully.
