"Mr President, Japan is once again starting to implement the death penalty. Previously, it had refrained from sentencing its citizens to death. Japan is one of the few industrialised countries that still carry out the death sentence. The reintroduction of the death penalty is based solely on an announcement by the Justice Minister, and a wider national debate is not even being considered. The death penalty, however it is carried out, is always inhumane. The European External Action Service and the Commission should use all their potential resources, in terms of political dialogue and diplomacy, to put a stop to implementation of the death sentence in Japan. The European Union is a community of values and is committed to the complete abolition of capital punishment everywhere in the world, and nothing should deter us from that."@en1
