    This document outlines topics for discussion around the death penalty, including recent congressional hearings on the issue, debates around retribution and deterrence, the role of human rights, and how cultures and views of criminality have changed over time. Key points of discussion are statistics on crime rates in countries with and without the death penalty, perspectives on whether the death penalty deters crime or is a form of justified punishment, the history and role of human rights organizations in disputes over the death penalty, and trends in European countries moving away from capital punishment. The conclusion acknowledges that views on human rights and the death penalty differ depending on individual country situations and cultural values.

    I.

    Introduction: Picture or Clipping of recent news the justification of Death


    Penalty based on the Congress hearings
    II. Update regarding Congress Hearings
    III. Asking their opinion about it (encourage debates)
    IV. Get the possible issues out of their answers:
    a. The issue of retribution and deterrence: Present a statistics of crime
    rates of countries that has death penalty (Case in point: United States
    (higher crime rate) and Middle East (lower crime rate)
    1. Ask: Why is retribution important? Or is it important?
    b. The bad side and good side of death penalty: Miracle in Cell No. 7 vs
    Bogs Diamond of Shawshank Redemption
    V. Question: Why are there crimes?
    VI. Question: How do we change cultures? Is it when violence is used against
    violence? Or is it when mercy is used against violence?
    VII. Discussion: Psychology of a criminal psychology of man (Purely evil?
    Mostly evil? God and evil? Or there will always be a good side?)
    a. History of Death Penalty Imposition of moratorium
    (Hammurabi, 10th Century AD, Henry VIII, Stalin, Hitler) - (William the
    Conqueror, Abolotionist Movements, Cory Aquino, Erap Estrada, Gloria
    Arroyo)
    Catch: Moratorium for Death Penalty was alternately imposed
    and lifted throughout the world.
    (Question: Probably why? is it because of the leader who imposes it?
    Or the society which becomes bad at times? Are we changing?)
    VIII. Whats the position of Human Rights?
    a. What is Human Rights (history) in a nutshell (Hitler, Mugabe, Stalin,
    Polpot etc)
    b. Role of CHR (dispute between State vs. People)
    1. Why do we have CHR? (Post Martial Law)
    c. Concept of Human Rights
    1. Right to Life- Against war (but there is just war), against death
    penalty (but majority of the signatories of Universal Declaration of
    Human Rights imposes death penalty)
    2. Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Hypocrisy or a slow attempt
    to do away with Death Penalty?
    3. Welfare States: Whats the trend in EU States? (Netherlands all
    except Belarus and Russia)

    CONCLUSION: Situations I different countries differ. Value and definition of


    Human Rights are relative.
