"It is shameful that, at the start of the 21st century, a country such as Japan, the most highly developed democracy in Asia and a model for all other developing democratic states in the region and across the world, still retains in its laws a practice as wretched and undemocratic as the death penalty. The right to life is the most fundamental human right. I would also like to remind Japan that it has publicly subscribed to the notion of a right to life, for example, in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966. In my opinion, the time has finally come to make a start on the application of this right and its proper enforcement, with no exceptions whatsoever. I would like to direct this powerful appeal to the Japanese Government and Japanese lawmakers."@en1
