The World Coalition Against the Death Penalty was created in Rome on May 12, 2002, and consists of 52 organizations throughout the world: NGOs, attorneys’ associations, trade unions, local communities, and other organizations (including many that are active in the U.S.) challenging capital punishment. The Coalition has chosen October 10, 2006 as the day to put particular focus on problems with the death penalty around the world.
