UN Human Rights Council's 2017 death penalty vote recalled
Original: The # UnitedNations # HumanRightsCouncil voted, on # ThisDayInHistory in 2017, to condemn application of the # DeathPena
On this day in 2017, the United Nations Human Rights Council voted to condemn the application of the death penalty for apostasy, blasphemy, adultery and homosexuality. The United States and twelve other countries, including Saudi Arabia and Iraq, voted against the resolution. Commenters are revisiting the vote and noting the unusual lineup of opponents, which paired the US with some of the states the measure was widely seen as targeting.
Why now: The anniversary of the vote is being marked, reviving debate over the countries that opposed it.
