Malta was a cosponsor of the resolution on the death penalty approved by the UN Commission on Human Rights on April 28 (1999/61). At the UN Commission on Human Rights, Ms. Aquilina (Observer for Malta) said that her delegation supported the position of the European Union on the abolition of the death penalty and believed that human rights education was one of the most important ways of strengthening global awareness of human rights. In that connection, she commended the High Commissioner's report on public information activities in the field of human rights (E/CN.4/1999/86). Malta was also a cosponsor of the resolution for a moratorium on executions presented by the European Union at the 54th UN General Assembly (A/C.3/54/L.8/Rev.1).
