Analyze the reality of the death penalty in today's society thanks to the exclusive content of this 100% online Postgraduate diploma"

First Generation Human Rights Protection are enshrined in key documents such as the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which establishes principles such as freedom of expression, equality before the law and the prohibition of torture. In this way, the international community has endorsed these rights through treaties and conventions, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

The armed conflicts that have occurred in recent years have opened an interesting debate in the most important international organizations. On the other hand, it is known that there are countries that maintain the death penalty as a method of punishment, often carrying out practices that violate the integrity of people, who are sentenced without a proper trial.
