OUR ACTIONS IN THE WORLD

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:

. Federate to enable actors committed against the death penalty to join their strengths
. Reinforce to provide these actors with strategic, financial and/or logistical support in their struggle.
. Advocate to organise high-level political meetings, create awareness raising campaigns, establish regular anti-death penalty events
. Educate to raise awareness among citizens in educational environment.
