Excerpt from Report in Favor of the Abolition of the Punishment of Death by Law: Made to the Legislature of the State of New York, April 14, 1841 A second edition of the following Report being called for by the public demand, it is deemed proper to add to it a brief statement of the action of the body to which it was made, on the Bill by which it was accompanied. From the great accumulation and pressure of business before the House of Assembly, it proved impossible to call the Bill up for consideration until within a few days of the adjournment. The same cause rendered it also necessary for its friends to allow it to pass to the vote without debate - without even a reply to three adverse speeches, of a character calculated to be extremely prejudicial to its success. Notwithstanding these unfavorable circumstances, on the first vote (that of ordering the Bill to its third reading) it was carried in the affirmative by a majority of five, the vote being, Ayes 57, Noes 52. Unfortunately it could not be brought up for the vote on its final passage until a late hour of a night session, when, from the physical exhaustion of a large number of Members, the attendance was very thin. It was then lost by the same majority of five, the vote being, Ayes 47, Noes 52. Among the absentees there was a large preponderance of its friends; and if the House had been full, it would been carried by a decisive majority. At that period of the session, and under the forms and rules of procedure of the body, a reconsideration was impossible, and it became necessary to let the subject lie over till the next session. These circumstances are mentioned to dispel the discouragement which might be felt by some of the friends of this important and noble reform in our penal legislation, from the fact of its failure on this occasion. There appears every reason to expect its passage at the next session by a large majority; for the promotion of which object it is desirable that as numerous petitions, as numerably signed, as possible, should be addressed to the next Legislature.

This is the 2002 third edition of William A. Schabas's highly praised study of the abolition of the death penalty in international law.

New chapters in the third edition address capital punishment in African human rights law and in international criminal law. An extensive list of appendices contains many of the essential documents for the study of capital punishment in international law. The Abolition of the Death Penalty in International Law is introduced with a Foreword by Judge Gilbert Guillaume, President of the International Court of Justice.

The fifth edition of this highly praised study charts and explains the progress that continues to be made towards the goal of worldwide abolition of the death penalty. The majority of nations have now abolished the death penalty and the number of executions has dropped in almost all countries where abolition has not yet taken place. Emphasizing the impact of international human rights principles and evidence of abuse, the authors examine how this has fueled challenges to the death penalty and they analyze and appraise the likely obstacles, political and cultural, to further abolition. They discuss the cruel realities of the death penalty and the failure of international standards always to ensure fair trials and to avoid arbitrariness, discrimination and conviction of the innocent: all violations of the right to life. They provide further evidence of the lack of a general deterrent effect; shed new light on the influence and limits of public opinion; and argue that substituting for the death penalty life imprisonment without parole raises many similar human rights concerns. This edition provides a strong intellectual and evidential basis for regarding capital punishment as undeniably cruel, inhuman and degrading. Widely relied upon and fully updated to reflect the current state of affairs worldwide, this is an invaluable resource for all those who study the death penalty and work towards its removal as an international goal.
