PETALING JAYA (Bernama): Asian countries should chart their own pathways towards abolishing the death penalty while upholding justice systems that respect the right to life and human dignity, said the International Commission Against the Death Penalty Commissioner, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Speaking at the Ending the Death Penalty in Asia conference on Monday, the former Philippine president said the death penalty does not make societies safer. On the contrary, it makes them less just.
