Abstract

Smrtna kazna postojala je u svim povijesnim razdobljima, u najrazličitijim društvima,
a u nešto promijenjenom obliku održala se sve do danas. Od kraja 19. stoljeća počinje
se kod mnogih buditi svijest o njezinoj moralnoj pogrešnosti i započinje pokret za
njezino ukidanje potaknut željama za zaštitu ljudskih prava. Pokret je prošao dug put
kako bi postigao rezultate koje vidimo danas i kako bi većina zemalja svijeta ukinula
ili ograničila smrtnu kaznu, no i dalje postoje one zemlje koje je se ne žele odreći. To
jest njihovo pravo, ali u obzir treba uzeti da se u svijetu godišnje izvrši barem 2500
smaknuća prema podacima koji su poznati. Ta činjenica kosi se sa potrebom zaštite
ljudskih prava, a posebice onog temeljnog prava, prava na život, koje pripada svakom
pojedincu. Razlozi zemalja za nenapuštanje smrtne kazne su raznovrsni, ali svakako
je najvažniji taj da veliki dio stanovništva nekih država, pa čak i onih koje odavno ne
koriste smrtnu kaznu, smatra da postoji potreba za smrtnom kaznom kako bi se kaznilo
počinitelja i zaštitilo društvo.

Abstract (english)

The Death Penalty has existed in all historical periods, in a wide variety of societies,
and in somewhat changed form has been maintained to this day. From the late 19th
century, many began to awaken awareness of its moral wrongs and began a movement
to end it, fueled by desire to protect human rights. The movement has come a long way
to achieve the results we see today and to eliminate or limit the Death Penalty in most
countries of the world, but there are stll those countries that do not want to give it up.
That is their right, but it should be borne in mind that at least 2500 executions are
carried out annually in the world according to the known data. This fact runs counter
to the need to protect human rights, and in particular that fundamental right, the right
to life that belongs to every individual. The reasons for countries not to abolish the
Death Penalty are varied, but the most important argument is that a large proportion
of the population of some states, even those who have not used the Death Penalty in a
long time, believe that there is a need for it in order to punish the perpetrator and
protect society.
