Poland completely abolishes death penalty

Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski has signed a bill on the ratification of regulations abolishing death penalty in all circumstances.

Before the bill Poland was one of the few Council of Europe members in which death penalty is allowed in times of war.

The president also signed a bill on the ratification of the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
