Upon the horizon, sovereignty used to occupy a stalwart place casting an imposing shadow of the possibility of the death penalty, and it effectively placed those within the worst aspect of human government; the initiation of a criminal justice thanatos. But following the solidification of the international human rights project the death penalty can no longer be applied as a manifestation of acceptable sovereign power. If executions do occur, they are revealed the world over for what they are – inhumane acts of shameful narcissism and expressions of dystopian horror; they brutalize those with whom they come into contact. The emerging utopia of global abolition is composed of a growing number of countries that are encouraged and empowered by the United Nations and the other political regions, with the support of the network of nongovernmental organizations. The seeds for the demise of the death penalty were planted by the imagination of the authors of utopian fiction and these valiant expositors have been emulated and reflected within the practical examples that have paved the way for the removal of the punishment globally.","PeriodicalId":348391,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Capital Punishment","volume":"372 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124663183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While some groups recognized as vulnerable—such as juveniles, pregnant women or the intellectually disabled—are in most countries excluded from the ultimate penalty by categorical exemptions, characteristics such as race, religion and citizenship status are not protective and are sites of discrimination in the administration of the death penalty. Furthermore, these characteristics can interact with each other to create a sum of disadvantage greater than its parts. To date, most research on the death penalty has been conducted in the US and has focused on discrimination on grounds of race, although empirical research has also demonstrated the adverse impact of inadequate resources.3 Much less attention has been paid to factors such as religion, citizenship, gender and sexual orientation. Beyond the US, there is a paucity of empirical data on jurisdictions that make regular use of the death penalty, especially those that rely on migrant workers. This chapter will focus on under-researched countries in the Gulf and Asia, particularly Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia. In such jurisdictions, we learn little by focusing only on race. There, it will be argued, discrimination and arbitrariness in the administration of the death penalty would be better understood in relation to disadvantage at the intersections of ethnicity, religion and citizenship. In considering these under-researched sites of discrimination and disadvantage, this chapter adopts an intersectionality approach, turning the lens on foreign nationals who do not enjoy","PeriodicalId":348391,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Capital Punishment","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131281914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
