The Death Penalty and Its Reduction in Asia: An Overview

Nicholson, P (Asian Law Centre, University of Melbourne, 2017)

This brief paper does two things. First, it offers a resource that summarises the literature on the death penalty in Asia. In drawing this material together (including the Bibliography at Appendix One), it offers observations about death penalty law and practice in Asia. Secondly, it draws on regional experience and external commentary to summarise existing and proposed methods for reducing the use of capital punishment in Asia.
