BRUSSELS, 04 July 2021, (TON): The European Union welcomes the US moratorium on the death penalty and continues to fight for its complete abolition in the world, said “in a statement by the representative of the EU’s foreign policy service (EMU).”
Earlier, US Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a moratorium on the execution of death sentences at the federal level while reviewing the relevant procedures of the Department of Justice.
The release said “The European Union welcomes Thursday’s anno-uncement.”
It was also reported that US President Joe Biden is in favor of abolishing the death penalty in the country and considers the moratorium announced on the eve of an important step.
EMU said “This is a promising first step that we hope will finally put an end to this practice at the federal level and pave the way for the abolition of the death penalty in the United States.”
