Motion text
That this House is dismayed by reports that the new government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago plans to recommence capital punishment as a means of dealing with the country's high murder rate; notes with concern that these proposals have already resulted in a headcount to determine the number of convicted murderers who can be executed as soon as possible; further notes that extensive global research has found that there is no correlation between execution and the murder rate; and calls on the Government to make representations and oppose this regressive move in the strongest possible terms.
