The Senate approved a motion by its Vice-President Ersilia Salvato urging the government to steer the EU towards proposing a new resolution on the death penalty at the UN Commission for Human Rights. The document requested the government to support the strengthening of the High Commissioner for Human Rights' role in diffusing and promoting the Commission's abolitionist resolutions on the death penalty, even through technical co-operation projects.
