The 13th Protocol of the Human Rights Act 1988 abolished the Death Penalty in all circumstances. This in fact reflected the general thinking in the years of peace after the end of the second World War.
Now however, the world is increasingly faced with gratuitous acts of terrorism by Isolated terrorists, by groups of terrorists, by extreme religious movements and by ISIS, the Islamic State. They do not respect the Human Rights of citizens to live peacefully.
They never declare War but they use military weapons and never hesitate to kill in order to attain their goals.
Many people are now openly asking or demanding that the Death Penalty be re-introduced as a deterrent and punishment for Terrorists and serial killers A frequent observation is that Courts of Law are often more favourable for Criminals than for their victims.
To provoke changes in laws which affect other countries as well, is never very easy. However, proposing the adoption of the Death Penalty could be a vote winner ! So perhaps the best way forward would be to harrass a local MP or the Prime Minister, particularly if an election is coming up soon !
