5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

INTRODUCTION
Progress is being made towards the universal abolition of the death penalty. Over the last 40 years, the world has seen a significant shift towards abolition, with the percentage of States giving up the death penalty rising from 20% to over 70%. This international trend has considerably gained in pace over the last two decades, thanks to the emergence and growth of an international abolitionist movement combining ongoing efforts in the political sphere with those of civil societys actors. Since 2001, the World Congress against the death penalty, organised by Ensemble Contre la Peine de Mort (ECPM Together against the Death Penalty) in partnership with the World Coalition against the Death Penalty, has become an abolitionist event not to be missed. After Strasburg in 2001, Montreal in 2004, Paris in 2007, and Geneva in 2010, the 5th World Congress will be held in Madrid, at the invitation of the Spanish government, and with the support of the Norwegian, Swiss and French governments. During three days, the World Congress unites members of international civil society, politicians, and legal experts to elaborate abolitionist strategies for the years to come at the national, regional, and international levels, and to send out a clear message to the world: that universal abolition is essential for a world where progress and justice must prevail. Fifteen hundred people, from over 90 countries across the five continents, are expected to attend the 5th World Congress against the death penalty in Madrid. Amongst them will be numerous public figures, from both political and cultural arenas who will play an important role as spokespersons for the abolitionist cause, with journalists from all over the world. The World Congresses have thus been the scene of declarations and commitments by many prominent figures who campaign on the issue, including Navanethem Pillay, Micheline Calmy-Rey, Jos Luis Rodrguez Zapatero, Abdou Diouf, Renate Wohlwend, Ibrahim Najjar, Robert Badinter, Ahmed Herzenni, Shirin Ebadi, and Sister Helen Prejean, to name just a few... The 5th World Congress aims to play an increasingly influential role in an international political strategy by encouraging cooperation between States, international organisations, and civil societies. A Core Group, made up of members from every continent and from the International Commission against the death penalty, will guarantee the high-ranking level in terms of political representation. The 5th World Congress against the death penalty will also focus on the Arab and African regions. This objective fits in with the opportunities for change following the Arab Spring and with Spains geopolitical situation, at the heart of the Euro Mediterranean area. The first Regional Congress against the death penalty, held in Rabat, Morocco, in October 2012 mobilised political actors, representatives of various existent or emerging coalitions, and media from the region. Despite the progress noted over the past decades, there are still many challenges ahead. New opportunities for abolitionist campaigners are emerging and strategies must be reinvented in order to bring change to the last remaining areas of resistance. The 5th World Congress against the death penalty is thus designed as part of an integrated approach, following the 2012 Regional Congress in Morocco, and will mobilise key figures (from political and civil society) in the abolitionist community from every continent!

5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT AND CHALLENGES

Throughout 2010, at least 527 prisoners were executed in 23 countries1, and 2024 people were sentenced to death in 67 countries2. In 2010, a majority of identified executions took place in China, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, the United States and Yemen. Out of the 58 countries that still retain the death penalty, with the exception of a few democracies such as the United States, Japan and India, most death sentences are implemented in countries with authoritarian regimes. With 21% of the worlds executions and only one abolitionist State (Djibouti), the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) is the region with the second-highest execution rate in the world after Asia. Nevertheless, the situation differs between countries. While executions remain common in Iran and Iraq, other countries (Morocco, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Algeria) are showing a trend towards reducing the number of executions and the adoption of pro-abolitionist penal reforms. Governments that retain the death penalty consider it to be an issue which falls exclusively under national law. However, the use of the death penalty in fact contravenes international norms and the founding principles of law. The verdict is too often issued after an unfair trial. Too often, it is discriminatory, or handed down for non-violent crimes or to individuals who were underage when the crime was committed. In States that have abolished by law, prodeath penalty movements regularly challenge the idea of abolition. Furthermore, the risk is always present that de facto abolitionist countries, which have not executed for many years, resume executions. Ordinary citizens, human rights activists, and members of the legal profession who voice their opposition to the death penalty in retentionist countries face considerable political, legal, or religious obstacles on a daily basis. Often part of a minority, they strive to make their voices heard by an ill-informed public opinion that wrongly views that the death penalty is an essential way of efficiently combatting crimes.

ABOLITION OF THE DEATH PENALTY REQUIRES US TO FIGHT EVERY SINGLE DAY, BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE DAY THERE ARE MEN AND WOMEN WAITING TO BE SENTENCED TO DEATH AND SOMETIMES, AT DAWN, ARE EXECUTED.

5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

STRATEGY OF THE TH 5 WORLD CONGRESS MADRID 2013

OBJECTIVES OF THE 5TH WORLD CONGRESS IN MADRID
FOCUS ON REGIONAL DYNAMICS IN THE MENA REGION Why? The 3rd World Congress of Paris in 2007 set up the basis for a synthetic and in depth reflection on the death penalty in the MENA region, thus paving the way for work to be developed by ECPM and its local partners as early as 2008 in Morocco and then in 12 other countries of the MENA region from January 2011. The first Regional Congress about the death penalty organised in Morocco in October 2012 marked an important step forward for abolitionists in the region, in the complex and uncertain context of the Arab Spring, which shed light onto new assessments and established concrete initiatives. What are the desired goals? Structure the Maghreb Coalition, a result of the Rabat Regional Congress; Structure the regional parliamentarian network (MENA), result of the Rabat Regional Congress expending it from the Moroccan parliamentarian network developed within the context of the project led by ECPM and its partners in Morocco; Develop a cooperating process between civil society and regional organisations in the MENA region; Develop and distribute the necessary tools to spark an objective debate on religion and the death penalty.

ENCOURAGING THE INVOLVEMENT OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS WITH LINKS TO CIVIL SOCIETY Why? This is a recurrent issue for World Congresses. Intergovernmental organisations are as diverse as the territories where they carry out their mandates; ranging from a regional scale, to a language community or an area linked by a common history. IGOs and their human rights bodies are engaged and active on different levels in the fight against the death penalty. Moreover, following the International Organisation of the Francophonie, which supports projects in favour of abolition since the 4th World Congress in Geneva in 2010, the 5th Congress wishes to foster the emergence of similar initiatives.

5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

What are the expected goals? Encourage IGOs, that have integrated abolition into their actions to reinforce their commitment, as is the case of the OIF (International Francophone organisation), the African and European Unions; Encourage IGOs to make a strong commitment in favour of abolition such as the League of Arab States, the Commonwealth and the Ibero-American States Union. EDUCATE AND RAISE THE AWARENESS ABOUT ABOLITION OF THE PUBLIC OPINION Why? The death penalty is still indifferently applied in three democratic States and in all totalitarian regimes. Its ghost reappears on a regular basis through surveys of public opinion in States that have banned it from their legislation. Therefore, it is essential to consider the death penalty as a contemporary concern, whether in retentionist or abolitionist countries. What are the expected goals? Share and spread actions aimed at education and awareness led by civil society, particularly in the educational system but also aimed at the general public; Invite pupils from middle and high school from both France and Spain to encourage interactions surrounding the death penalty through the artistic Draw the abolition contest; Accompany the Spanish civil society on projects surrounding education and awareness throughout the congress.

ORGANISATION OF THE MADRID CONGRESS

ACTORS OF THE MADRID CONGRESS World congresses against the death penalty attract a wide and diverse audience from all five continents: civil society campaigners, lawyers, magistrates, senior government officials or representatives of intergovernmental organisations, diplomats, elected officials, journalists, academics and students to name a few. More than ever before, a particular focus will be aimed at encouraging the attendance of participants from retentionist States who fight on a daily basis, often in very difficult conditions, to abolish the death penalty in their home countries. Also, there will be a particular focus on the mobilisation of both the international diplomatic community and international and intergovernmental institutions. To strengthen political influence on countries that still retain the death penalty, delegates from States that have not carried out an execution for more than ten years, or from States where the political situation offers hope for legislative reform, will be invited to speak.

AS THE HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, I AM AGAINST THE USE OF THE DEATH PENALTY NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND I CALL UPON ALL COUNTRIES THAT USE IT TO TAKE THE FAST ROAD TO ABOLITION.

5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

ACADEMIC PROGRAMME 2 plenary sessions; 11 round table conferences organised in collaboration with partners of the congress; 8 workshops to redefine tools and reassess strategies; 2 poster sessions, giving grassroots activists the opportunity to present their activities; An official opening ceremony; A solemn closing ceremony; The final march. A TRILINGUAL CONGRESS IN SPANISH, ENGLISH AND FRENCH Professional interpretation in these three languages will be available throughout the 5th World Congress against the death penalty, with interpretation into other UN languages available for certain discussions. THE CULTURAL PROGRAMME Alongside the conferences, a rich and diverse cultural programme will allow us to look at the problems raised by the death penalty from an artistic perspective and reach out to a larger audience. A cultural programme that will lighten the intensity of the presentations: On site at the congress, during the two days of debate: film and documentary screenings, artistic set ups, photographic and drawing exhibitions; In the evenings: moments dedicated to informal exchanges between participants, an evening in a cultural venue of Madrid; Outdoors in the host city: exhibitions, film screenings MEDIA COVERAGE The Geneva Congress was a media success with over 250 000 Web references and over 1 200 articles in at least 30 countries. The nobility of the cause, the quality of the debates, the presence of Human Rights specialists, important figures from the political and cultural domain, testimonies from victims families who have dealt with the death penalty, all make the media coverage of the World Congress against the death penalty a global reach. This increases the visibility for all of ECPMs partners and for the abolitionist message, communicated through international figures who have publicly declared their commitment to this cause. The following people have participated to previous congresses and have, therefore, helped to carry forward the urgent message of abolition accross the borders: Mary Robinson, Hauwa Ibrahim, Robert Badinter, Jacques Derrida, Bianca Jagger, Danile Mitterrand, Pascal Clment, Ari Vatanen, Jos luis Rodriguez Zapatero, Abdou Diouf, Shirin Ebadi, Micheline Calmy-Rey, Navanethem Pillay as well as artists such as Catherine Deneuve, Marie-Christine Barrault, Emily Loizeau In order to reach a wide and international audience, we encourage the attendance of media representatives from around the world, members of the press from retentionist countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Caribbean will be encouraged.

5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

IMPLEMENTATION
DEFINING THE ACADEMIC PROGRAMME
The academic programme of the 5th World Congress against the death penalty is defined by a committee made up of a representative from World Coalition against the Death Penalty, ECPM, the International Academic Network for abolition of Capital Punishment, the University of Oslo and the Moroccan Association for Human Rights. The programme is then implemented in partnership with the World Coalition against the Death Penalty. For this 5th edition, ECPM chose to widen its partnerships to other actors of the abolitionist cause and to improve the geographical representation of the committee and working group in charge of the academic programme.

GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT AND POLITICAL MOBILISATION

As in the past, the success of the World Congress against the death penalty depends on considerable support from the host country, sponsor countries, and abolitionist governments. These countries have also stated the strength of their diplomatic commitment in favour of the universal abolition of the death penalty. In order to ensure political mobilisation, a Core Group has been established, for which ECPM acts as secretary. It is made up of high-ranking diplomats from the congresses partner countries, at least one country from each continent (Latin America, Africa, and Asia), and one representative from the International Commission against the Death Penalty, will be set up. This Core Group, in addition to ensuring the presence of key political figures at the congress, will improve the impact of the campaign against the death penalty (Regional and World Congresses) on target countries for the establishment of a universal moratorium, a reduction in the number of death sentences, and a reduced number of executions in view of abolishing the death penalty.

PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME
The two days of debates will begin with two plenary sessions (2hrs), followed by round tables (2hrs), as well as interactive workshops (1hr30) and one poster presentation session per day.

ORGANISERS AND PARTNERS

TOGETHER AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY (ECPM)
Since 2000, ECPM has campaigned against capital punishment across the world. This French organisation seeks to bring together and mobilise international advocates of abolition. It is responsible for the creation of the World Coalition against the Death Penalty and the World Congresses against the death penalty. It seeks to reinforce the capacities of abolitionists, to work alongside them. It is committed to promoting worldwide abolition through educational initiatives with French-speaking students. ECPM also works to share information, raise public awareness through its publications, and last but not least it campaigns on behalf of individuals sentenced to death around the world. TO UNITE ABOLITIONISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD Every three years, ECPM organises the World Congress against the death penalty, which brings together over a thousand abolitionists from around the world to consider and reassess regional and international strategies aimed at achieving worldwide abolition. A founding member of the World Coalition against the Death Penalty, ECPM held the coordinating role of executive secretariat for 8 years, and is now an active member of its executive board. TO REINFORCE THE CAPACITIES OF LOCAL PARTNERS AND ACT WITH THEM ECPM connects abolitionists with one another and enables them to discuss and coordinate their activities and promote the creation of national or regional Coalitions against the death penalty. ECPM supports the activities of local abolitionists campaigners by providing technical support, and assisting in the development of action plans and of tools for mobilising support, raising awareness, and sharing information. ECPM co-organises events such as seminars, lobbying, and campaigning activities to promote the abolition of the death penalty with local partners in retentionist and de facto abolitionist countries. ECPM is developing projects in Maghreb countries and is working there with partners such as the Moroccan Coalition against the Death Penalty. ECPM is also working in central Africa together with the association Culture for Peace and Justice to develop a Coalition in central Africa. TO INFORM, EDUCATE AND RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS ECPM is committed to raising awareness on the abolitionist cause, even in abolitionist countries, because universal abolition will only become a reality when people truly believe that it must. The organisation develops various informative and awareness-raising tools, namely: abolition.fr, and its Abolition Newsletter, a monthly e-newsletter sent to over 30 000 people; Le Journal de labolition: a free newspaper with 10 000 printed copies, published in partnership with Ouest France, a French regional newspaper.

5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

An exhibition entitled On the Road to Universal Abolition, to educate people on the subject of abolition in schools, universities, local authorities and associations, in countries that maintain the death penalty as well as in those who have abolished it. Since 2009, ECPM has been developing a free educational programme for teachers and schools featuring training on the problems raised by the death penalty and why it should be abolished, and including teaching material such as an introduction to the topic, course modules, and publications. This educational programme is also implemented beyond French borders in collaboration with local partners in Morocco, Lebanon and Spain in particular. TO ACT ON BEHALF OF INDIVIDUALS SENTENCED TO DEATH AROUND THE WORLD ECPM carries out research missions on death rows and publishes detailed reports concerning the living and legal conditions of the prisoners that have been sentenced to death, and to raise public awareness concerning the reality of what life is like for this population: in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2005, a mission for which ECPM was awarded the Human Rights Award by France; in Rwanda in 2006, and in Burundi in 2007. In 2010, ECPM went to the United States for the first time to undertake a research mission in eight States: California, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. ECPM will undertake another mission in the coming years in prisons of the Maghreb region (Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco). The Condamns (death row prisoners) section of the website www.abolition.fr, which offers over 400 profiles of death row prisoners in 30 countries, makes it possible for the needs of individuals sentenced to death to be shared with people across the world and to give the public the necessary tools to communicate with people on death row. Lastly, ECPM addresses the urgency of a death sentence through international mobilisation campaigns and support for the defendants lawyers.

THE WORLD COALITION AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

The World Coalition against the Death Penalty, an alliance of over 138 NGOs, Bar Associations, local authorities and unions from each continent, was established in Rome onMay 13th 2002. The aim of the World Coalition is to strengthen the international dimension of the fight against the death penalty. Its ultimate goal is to accomplish the universal abolition of the death penalty. To achieve this goal, the World Coalition advocates for a definitive halt to death sentences and executions in countries where the death penalty is applied. In certain countries, it is seeking to obtain a reduction in the use of capital punishment as a first step towards abolition. THE WORLD COALITION IS COMMITED TO ACHIEVING THESE AIMS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS By lobbying international organisations and governments; Organising international campaigns, including the World Day against the Death Penalty; By supporting national and regional abolitionists.

5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

HISTORY
WORLD CONGRESSES AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY
The importance of this triennial gathering for the worldwide abolitionist movement, in a world more and more focused on interaction, cannot be denied. From one edition to the next, the World Congress against the death penalty, an essential gathering for civil society, results in a growing number of political and diplomatic supporters and an increase in participants from all horizons.

STRASBURG 2001
The 1st World Congress took place in the hemicycle of the Council of Europe and the European Parliament in Strasburg in 2001, in the presence of 22 Speakers of Parliament and, for the first time, with abolitionists from all over the world. This event resulted in the creation of the World Coalition against the Death Penalty in 2002 and of the implementation of the first World Day against the Death Penalty in 2003.

MONTREAL 2004
Montreal hosted the 2nd World Congress against the death penalty, organized by ECPM and Penal Reform International. The congress brought together diplomats, NGOs, journalists and citizens from over 64 different countries. This congress had a particular focus on the United States of America, the development of regional approaches and the question of criminal law policy within the context of the death penalty.

PARIS 2007
Placed under the patronage of Jacques Chirac and Angela Merkel, the 3rd Congress noted a peak in attendance with over 1000 participants, 150 speakers, the participation of numerous political leaders and extensive media coverage. The congress was characterised by an official declaration from the European Union, solemn messages from the Pope, the Dalai Lama, unprecedented interventions from Chinese abolitionists and representatives from States who have retained the death penalty in their legislation such as Morocco and Benin. In an official message, Micheline Calmy Rey, Federal Councillor and head of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of the Swiss Confederation, invited the 4th World Congress to take place in Geneva. Focus was aimed at China and the upcoming Olympic Games as well as the abolitionist perspectives in Northern Africa and the Middle East region.

GENEVA 2010
Thanks to an invitation from the Swiss government, the 4th edition of the World Congress against the death penalty took place in Geneva, city known as the cradle of human rights, from February 24th 26th 2010. The amount of political representation at this 4th international gathering for the abolitionist movement far surpassed that of previous congresses, in relation to both the number and rank of political figures who attended. No fewer than 53 foreign diplomatic delegations were present. The Geneva Congress was also a success with both the general public, with more than 1500 participants, and the media, with over 250 000 Internet listings and 1200 articles in at least 30 countries.

5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

In line with its commitment, ECPM was able to make this congress a reality thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Swiss Confederation, to the political and financial backing of many countries, the majority of which were European, the IOF, and a close partnership with the World Coalition against the Death Penalty. During the opening ceremony of the Geneva Congress, an official invitation was extended by Spanish Prime Minister, Jos Luis Rodrguez Zapatero, to host the 5th Congress in Spain. In setting the ambitious objective of a universal moratorium by 2015, based on the timeline for the Millennium development goals, and announcing the creation of an International Commission against the Death Penalty as a form of political support for civil society initiatives, Spain confirmed its commitment to the cause and highlighted the importance of coordinated efforts between civil society and governments in order to attain universal abolition.

MEDIA IMPACT: RAISING INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC AWARENESS Thanks to extensive international media coverage, the congresses have contributed to raising international public and media awareness on the abolitionist cause. This raising of public awareness, whether in relation to the death penalty in the United States, conditions of detention, to the reality of the death penalty in China or the outlook on abolition in Muslim countries discussed during the Paris Congress, is essential in the campaign for worldwide abolition. A STRUCTURAL IMPACT: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GLOBAL ABOLITIONIST MOVEMENT AND WORLD DAY AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY The 1st Congress led to the creation of the World Coalition against the Death Penalty. Today, the Coalition has 138 members in 44 countries. In parallel, national and regional abolitionist coalitions are being created and developed, including the Moroccan, Tunisian, and Congolese coalitions, and regional coalitions in the Caribbean, the Arab world, and central Africa. World Day against the Death Penalty on October 10th, was also launched during the 1st Congress and was endorsed by the Council of Europe and the European Parliament in 2007. The increasing mobilisation of public opinion during World Day is a promising sign. In 2007, the petition calling for a moratorium received 5 million signatures. In 2008, when World Day focused on Asia, activities were organised in 50 countries spanning every continent. World Day in 2009 saw the introduction of the Educational Guide, which was widely distributed and is still used by Coalition members in their awareness-raising activities. Finally, World Day in 2010 sought to strengthen the pro-abolitionist trend developing in the United States. Four hundred and forty initiatives took place in 55 countries and on all 5 continents. The abolition of the death penalty in the state of Illinois is one of the success stories of this eighth World Day against the Death Penalty.

5TH WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY

A POLITICAL IMPACT: THE ADOPTION OF UN RESOLUTIONS AND FURTHER STATE RATIFICATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LEGAL INSTRUMENTS FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE DEATH PENALTY The Paris Congress, which called for a United Nations General Assembly resolution on a global moratorium on executions, also contributed to the adoption of this resolution by a large majority at the end of 2007. This resolution was once again successfully adopted at the end of 2008, at the end of 2010, following the Geneva Congress, and in 2012. The final declarations of the World Congresses, signed by many political figures and institutions, encouraged States to ratify international and regional abolitionist treaties, including the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Between 2001 and 2012, 27 new states opted for this Protocol, bringing the total number of State Parties to 75 at the start of 2013. While the unceasing efforts of this alliance of abolitionists from all over the world is pushing forward the global abolitionist cause, challenges remain to be faced, particularly at the 5th Congress.

WORLD CONGRESS OBJECTIVES

FOLLOWING ON FROM THE WORLD CONGRESSES IN 2001 International civil society, past and present political figures, organisations linked to governments and States, are all invited to participate in the World Congresses in order to share their knowledge, experiences and available resources to support the universal abolition of the death penalty. FOR CIVIL SOCIETY: ENDING THE ISOLATION OF ABOLITIONIST CAMPAIGNERS To reinforce the capacities of campaigners in both retentionist and de facto abolitionist countries. To encourage organisations working towards abolition to develop national and regional coalitions against the death penalty, and eventually, to join the World Coalition against the Death Penalty.

QUESTION GOVERNMENTS ON THEIR ROLES AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE FIGHT FOR ABOLITION, IN PARTICULAR BY RATIFYING INTERNATIONAL TREATIES By encouraging them to work hand in hand in favour of abolition. By encouraging the development of coordinated strategies between States, intergovernmental organizations (IGO) and civil society. ENCOURAGING ABOLITIONIST AND RETENTIONIST COUNTRIES TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE ROAD TO ABOLITION By initiating open dialogue within their countries and with other States concerning the death penalty. By encouraging countries to commit to the universal moratorium on executions at the UN General Assembly, as a first step towards abolition in law. By encouraging retentionist countries to abolish the death penalty. BEYOND THE POLITICAL AND MILITANT ARENAS OF SOCIETY, PROMOTING GREATER CIVIC AWARENESS: By increasing the visibility of the abolitionist cause with the general public thanks to extensive media coverage of the World Congress in retentionist and de facto abolitionist countries. By broadcasting accessible information.

REGIONAL CONGRESS IN RABAT

The Rabat regional Congress (18 20 October 2012) follows in the footsteps of the World Congresses against the death penalty: conceived as an event in itself, it pursued aims focusing on the MENA region and is an essential step towards the preparation of the 5th World Congress in Madrid in June 2013. Over 400 lawyers, magistrates, parliamentarians, sociologists, theologians, journalists, members of NGOs and militants of the MENA region were united on the occasion of the first international abolitionist event to take place in the MENA region. The debates highlighted countries implementing a moratorium on executions: Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia. Other countries of the MENA region, such as Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Palestinian Territories and Yemen, were represented thanks to an initiative taken by the organisers. The Regional Congress against the death penalty that took place in Rabat was organised by the association Together against the Death Penalty (ECPM), in partnership with the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (OMDH), the International Bar Associations Human Rights Insitute (IBAHRI), and in association with the Moroccan Coalition against the Death Penalty (CMCPM).
