DEATH PENALTY IN COLOMBIA

DEATH PENALTY IN COLOMBIA

The government nowadays have had important decisions and point of view, about the death penalty in our country, the consequence and the benefits of this law; turning into biggest debates in universities, in the parliament, even into the different religions. The main topic is to know if is necessary in Colombia and if we were preserving the human rights or this will be a revenge law.

To talk of murder can be normal in Colombia, but the estrange is to talk from murder like a law for some cases like violations, massacres and murders of innocent persons, looking this law from this position should be right, but the penal system in this country does not withstand the law, because the corruption prevent the honesty and the good investigation of the cases; for that maybe there are acts of injustice against innocent people.

One part of the society approves the death penalty like the way to do social cleansing, regeneration of the community and savings in spending on prisons; but, many people think that it is happened right now. The people who consume drugs are being murder in the streets , the rapist are being murder in the jails and the army murdered hundreds of country persons and beggar in the cities and show it to the government and the country like a guerrillas, it was the famous false positives.

One argument against the death penalty giving for ONG’s and the religions is to protect the life, the humans right and they say that we need to take into consideration the suitable or not of the law, because Colombia need to improve not to back down in the good process of growth that has had.

In conclusion, Colombia must to analyze of feasibility of this law and the consequences that could happened in the country; I think that we need a referendum to decide if we approve or disapprove and what would be the cases where the law applies.
