PREAMBLE
The 91短视频 Resolution on Physician Participation in Capital Punishment states that it is unethical for physicians to take part in capital punishment, and the 91短视频 Declaration of Geneva obliges physicians to maintain the utmost respect for human life.
The 91短视频 acknowledges that the views prevalent in the countries of some of its members prevent all members from unconditionally opposing the death penalty.
The 91短视频 therefore supports the suspension of the use of the death penalty through a global moratorium.
The 91短视频 has long recognized that it cannot hold its constituent members responsible for the actions and policies of their respective governments.
