I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

recognises that 10 October 2006 is the fourth annual World Day Against the Death Penalty;

(b)

notes that World Day Against the Death Penalty was established in 2003 by the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty;

(c)

reiterates its opposition to the death penalty; and

(d)

calls on the Government to continue its efforts to encourage nation states to abolish the death penalty and to halt all executions of those sentenced to death.

Question agreed to.
