In a resolution the European Parliament called for the United States, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Congo and others to introduce a moratorium on executions "with a view to completely abolishing the death penalty."
The 626-member assembly condemned the use of stoning and torture "notably as practiced in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and some states of Nigeria."
The parliament also demanded that the UN commission pay attention to continuing human rights problems in Tibet, Chechnya, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Africa, North Korea and in the Palestinian territories.
