A motion that "favourably receives and gives support to the government's decision to present a resolution for a universal moratorium on executions at the next UN General Assembly" was presented in Parliament by the National Alliance (AN) party.
The motion commits the government to "work in such a way so as to assure that the resolution for a moratorium is backed and co-sponsored by countries from all continents, other than those appertaining to the European Union".
Moreover, AN's motion has the purpose of asking the executive to "immediately put into place initiatives, both at bilateral and multilateral levels, towards countries which could co-sponsor, vote in favour or at least abstain from the moratorium resolution and which could decide to not give support to the counter manoeuvres put forward by retentionist states with the purpose of sabotaging the Italian initiative".
