Anatomy of the impact of the death penalty on individual human rights

The death penalty or 'permanent removal of an individual from society by the authorities, or to put it even more bluntly, the killing of an individual by the state authoritities has been in existence and has bedevilled legal systems all over the world from time immemorial. Sadly, in many countries, this is still the position. Arguments in favour and against the death penalty continue to fill volumes of different kinds of literature. Many disciplines have had the opportunity to examine the death penalty from their own perspectives.
