India Votes Against UN Resolution Calling for Global Death Penalty Moratorium
India voted against a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for a global moratorium on the death penalty, arguing there is no international consensus against capital punishment and that sovereign states have the right to determine their legal systems and penalties. While India opposed equating lawful executions with torture or arbitrary killings, it supported a separate resolution condemning extrajudicial executions. The resolution was adopted with 133 countries in favor, 33 against, and 16 abstentions, expressing concern over a rise in executions in 2025 and urging restrictions on capital punishment.
