Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: The Death Penalty Project engages with EU Commissioners and their staff and with the Council of the European Union, to make sure that the abolition of the death penalty remains a priority of the external policy of the EU (see EU Guidelines on Death Penalty). The Death Penalty Project has engaged with the EU’s human rights policies and initiatives, with a particular focus on the EU’s policy against the death penalty, working on EU funded projects. For instance DPP has recently implemented projects in Kenya (EIDHR/2017/154297/28) "Strengthening the rule of law and restricting the use of the death penalty leading to abolition" and in the Caribbean (EIDHR/2017/394-699), "Building a Platform for Abolition: Strengthening the Anti-Death Penalty Movement in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean".
Communication Activities: The Death Penalty Project has produced a number of publications related to the death penalty, including the following reports which were produced with funding from the European Commission: - Living with a Death Sentence in Kenya: Prisoners’ Experiences of Crime, Punishment and Death Row https://deathpenaltyproject.org/knowledge/kenya-socio-economic-report/ - The Death Penalty in Kenya: A Punishment that has Died Out in Practice, Part One - A Public Ready to Accept Abolition https://deathpenaltyproject.org/knowledge/kenya-part-one-a-public-ready-to-accept-abolition/ - The Death Penalty in Kenya: A Punishment that has Died Out in Practice, Part Two - Overwhelming Support for Abolition Among Opinion Leaders https://deathpenaltyproject.org/knowledge/kenya-part-two/
