  • FAILING the FUTURE Death Penalty Developments, March 1998 - March 20001
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FAILING THE FUTURE 1 Death Penalty Developments, March 1998 - March 2000 - “Three or four hundred years ago, cops used to catch people like Reich just to kill them. Capital punishment they called it.” - “You’re kidding.” The Demolished Man, by Alfred Bester, set in the year 2301 Clinging to the past: The US death penalty in an increasingly abolitionist world In 1951, the year that Alfred Bester published his critically acclaimed science fiction novel The Demolished Man2, his country executed 105 prisoners. It was the last time that the US judicial death toll reached three figures in a single year. Its 98 executions in 1999, however, brought the United States closer to repeating this ignominious record than in any year since then. Unless the country’s leaders adopt a vision of modern justice hitherto markedly absent, it will not be long before the USA repeats or exceeds its 1951 total. However, having reopened the Pandora’s box of judicial killing in 1977, few US leaders seem inclined to close it again. Not long before publication of The Demolished Man - a story of a world in which capital punishment has long gone - the international community produced its own blueprint for the future. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted on 10 December 1948, the first Human Rights Day, imagined a world in which the rights to life and freedom from cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment were fully respected. One measure of progress towards this end is the number of countries that have stopped using the death penalty.
