In order to take the abolitionist cause as far as possible and in parallel with its World Congress, ECPM is developing long-term actions in Central Africa, the Middle East, North Africa and South-East Asia. These actions hinge on 4 main areas:
ACAT Congo
Since 2015, ECPM has been involved in Congo in partnership with ACAT CONGO.
– by facilitating the presence of many Congolese actors at international events on the death penalty
– by conducting an advocacy campaign with the authorities to include abolition in the new constitution
– by conducting a targeted campaign on the ratification by the Congo of the 2nd Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
