IV, Actual Practices of Capital Punishment that Violate the Prohibition of Torture & Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment

 

     A. Methods of Execution

          Methods of execution that per se violate the prohibition of torture and

          cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment

 

          31. The jurisprudence of regional human rights bodies and national

                judiciaries leaves no doubt that death by stoning constitutes

                torture and is, beyond dispute, a violation of the prohibition of cruel,

                inhuman and degrading treatment. In Jabari v. Turkey (2000), the

                European Court of Human Rights held that death by stoning was a

                violation of the prohibition on torture and that the possibility of being

                stoned to death would make deportation of the complainant to the

                Islamic Republic of Iran contrary to Article 3 of the European

                Convention. At the United Nations, the Commission on Human 

                Rights described execution by stoning as a partiularly cruel or

                inhuman means of execution........
