Come sai da un precedente messaggio, il 10 ottobre di ogni anno
si celebra
nel mondo la Giornata Contro la Pena di Morte. La Coalizione
Mondiale
Contro la Pena di Morte ha deciso di dedicare la ricorrenza di
quest'anno
al tema dell'abolizione della pena capitale nei Paesi
africani.
Pertanto il prossimo 10 ottobre porteremo alle ambasciate
dei 38 Paesi
africani che prevedono ancora la pena di morte dei
messaggi di
sensibilizzazione diretti al Capo dello stato e a tutto il
Popolo di
ciascun paese. A titolo di esempio alleghiamo il testo del
messaggio
diretto al Ruanda (pur rimando identici nella struttura, i
vari messaggi
sono adattati alla situazione di ogni
paese).
Rispondendo a questo e-mail e indicando i tuoi dati (nome,
cognome e
indirizzo postale COMPLETO) potrai sottoscrivere anche tu
questo importante
appello!
Aspettiamo la TUA adesione a giro di
posta!
Cordiali saluti
Grazia Guaschino

World Day
Against the Death Penalty
DearŠ,
We are pleased and honoured to
address you and the Rwandan people. We want
to assure you that we are
in solidarity with the efforts of all Rwandan
citizens who aim to
restore justice and human rights after a long period of
terrible
tribulations in your Country. It is in a spirit of deep friendship
and
humility that we request that you do your best to achieve, as soon
as
possible, the complete abolition of the death penalty in Rwanda, and
that
in the meantime you maintain the present moratorium on
executions.
We are aware that we write to you from a privileged place,
a part of the
world where survival, freedom, safety and peace are
assured. We are also
aware that our privileges have come at a high cost
to other, less fortunate
populations. As citizens of the industrialized
West, we must accept
responsibility for an economic system that
excludes and exploits billions
of our fellow human beings.
It is our
sincere desire to work for change even as we hope for an era
of
freedom, justice and peace, a time when relationships among
individuals and
among nations will be ruled by a common respect for
human rights rather
than by force, violence, and abuse.
We believe
that the solemn words from the Preamble to the Universal
Declaration of
the Rights of Man, issued on December 10, 1948, are still
valid and
true: "recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal
and
inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the
foundation of
freedom, justice and peace in the world."
These words
give us the strength to dare ask you to abolish the death
penalty,
which offends personal dignity and undermines the enjoyment of
the
first and fundamental human right: the right to life. This right is
without
doubt a condition for the respect of all other
rights.
Capital punishment, which has been a part of human history
through
millennia, no longer has a place in modern and civilized legal
system. In
the second half of the Eighteenth century, thanks to the
Italian scholar
Cesare Beccaria, the abolitionist idea was born. Today,
the countries that
maintain the death penalty in their legal system are
a minority, and those
who actually enforce it are even fewer. This
shows the growing
understanding that the death penalty, which
originated in fear and the wish
for revenge, is neither fair nor
useful; it does not fight criminality; nor
does it uplift the morality
of a country.
You are facing huge problems - the administration of
justice in regard to
the tens of thousands of people responsible for
crimes against humanity;
the struggle to find a way to insure basic
survival for all your citizens,
to solve serious health problems, and
to grant civil rights, particularly
women's rights. Yet these problems
do not make the issue of the death
penalty a secondary or negligible
problem.
Mr. President, Rwandan friends, we urge you to take a brave
step forward:
Abolish the death penalty and let Rwanda join a universal
ideal of
civilization. Help to heal the wounds in society, promote a
positive image
of your Country in the world, and increase international
co-operation and
solidarity.
We moreover beg you to add your voice
to the abolitionist ones in the
international seats to call upon all
States that still maintain the death
penalty to abolish the death
penalty completely and, in the meantime, to
establish a moratorium on
executions.
Thanking you in advance for an answer, we
remain
respectfully yours,
--
