N/A
- State under Review
- Recommendation
With regard to Recommendations 70.23 to 70.35 all of which related to the abolition of the death penalty, the delegation emphasized that public opinion in Guyana strongly favoured the retention of the death penalty. Guyana noted these recommendations and voluntarily committed to continue to consider and consult on the abolition of the death penalty and to report to the Human Rights Council in two years. With this in mind, Guyana has tabled an amendment to the Criminal Law (Offences) Act which provides for varied sentences for different categories of murder including life imprisonment and lesser sentences of imprisonment, as well as access to parole. This bill will be debated in the National Assembly in October 2010.
