The rule of law, prompt investigation and prosecution of crimes must be guaranteed to prevent rape. However, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, said that the death penalty was not the answer.
He said this in a statement on Friday.
Michelle Bachelet has expressed concern about the enactment of an ordinance amending the Abuse of Women and Children (Prevention) Act to introduce the death penalty for rape in Bangladesh.
He said the main reason for the death penalty was to prevent rape. In reality, however, there is no evidence that the death penalty is more effective in suppressing crime than any other form of punishment.
The main problem in most countries in the world is that victims of sexual violence do not receive justice. He called for the establishment of justice.
Michelle Bachelet called on governments around the world to redouble their efforts to prevent rape and sexual violence, establish justice, ensure speedy criminal investigations and justice.
He said people are outraged by recent reports of rapes in various parts of the world, including Algeria, Bangladesh, India, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan and Tunisia. Demand resources and justice to prevent sexual harassment. I also sympathize with the demand for justice. However, I am concerned that laws have already been enacted in some places to enforce cruel and inhuman punishments and the death penalty for criminals.
Nigerian law has been amended to prevent violence against women and rape. In Bangladesh, the President has issued an ordinance amending the Abuse of Women and Children (Prevention) Act to introduce the death penalty for rape. The people of Pakistan have called for the execution. Many more countries have raised concerns about the death penalty, according to the statement. Source: Deccan Herald.
