answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2015 answer text <p>The Government opposes the death penalty in all circumstances, especially in cases which do not meet the minimum standards defined by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. We believe it undermines human dignity and there is no evidence that it works as a deterrent. Ministers, our Ambassador in Riyadh and the Embassy team raise the issue of the death penalty with the Saudi authorities, both bilaterally and through the European Union.</p><p>We recognise that total abolition of the death penalty is unlikely in Saudi Arabia in the near future. Our focus is therefore on encouraging the introduction of EU minimum standards for the death penalty as a first step, and on supporting access to justice and rule of law.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/10/2015 15:01:44 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
