When we talk about human rights, somehow capital punishments do not strike to me as morally supportable ones. This discussion is not about the legality or constitutionality of the death penalty.
The fundamental issue is a moral one does the death penalty violate the human rights of the person on whom it is imposed ? If it does not, then the constitutional issue becomes the one to be decided. If that, capital punishment does violate human rights, then the question takes on a different character.
The moral question to be asked, however, would be even if a person deserved to be put to death, would it be moral and proper to do so, if it violated his human rights ???
