GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – The International Commission Against the Death Penalty (ICDP), established in Madrid one year ago by the Spanish government with strong support from Switzerland, is moving its head office to Geneva next week, the group has announced. The move coincides with World Day Against the Day Penalty 11 October, which will be highlighted in Geneva with a public debate and film at the Alhambra.
The group is moving to Geneva to be able to work more closely with various United Nations organizations that are involved in the issues surrounding the death penalty. It will be housed at the Académie de droit international humanitaire et de droits humains.
