印度在联合国大会反对死刑暂停决议草案：133国赞成33国反对，印度称刑罚属各国主权
印度在联合国大会就一项呼吁暂停使用死刑的决议草案投了反对票。该草案获得133个国家赞成、33个国家反对。印度表示，主权国家有权决定本国的法律制度和刑罚。
印度同时支持了另一项关于法外处决、即决处决或任意处决的决议，但与其中将死刑等同于酷刑的一段文字保持距离。
联大决议不具有法律约束力，暂停死刑的呼吁多年来在联大反复提出，各国立场分化明显。印度的表态延续了其一贯立场，即死刑的存废与适用应由各国依据本国法律自行决定。
India Votes Against UN Death Penalty Moratorium Draft: 133 in Favour, 33 Against, India Cites Sovereignty
India voted against a UN General Assembly draft resolution calling for a moratorium on the use of the death penalty. A total of 133 nations voted in favour of the draft and 33 against. India argued that sovereign states have the right to determine their own legal systems and penalties.
India supported a separate resolution on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, but distanced itself from a paragraph in that text that equated capital punishment with torture.
General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding, and calls for a moratorium on the death penalty have been put to the Assembly repeatedly over the years, with countries sharply divided. India's vote continues its long-standing position that the retention and application of capital punishment should be decided by each country under its own law.
