Amendment No. 2 | Doc. 14399 | 09 October 2017
Evaluation of the partnership for democracy in respect of the Parliament of Jordan
Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 6.7, insert the following paragraph:
"calls on the Jordanian authorities to show genuine political will on the issue of the death penalty by not carrying out death sentences already pronounced and by rapidly introducing a de jure moratorium on executions, with a view to abolishing the death penalty in the near future. In the meantime, and as an expression of their political will, the Jordanian authorities should make determined efforts to convince public opinion of the importance of abolition of the death penalty. In any case, for the future, the Assembly strongly hopes that the executions will be suspended, as well as calls on the Jordanian authorities to take every possible and necessary initiative of abolition of the death penalty."
