    Pedeapsa detențiunii pe viață și drepturile omului
    (CEP USM, 2024) Danilescu, Tatina
    Life imprisonment is a custodial sentence that allows the state to keep the person in its custody for live. Hundreds of thousands of people around de world are serving life sentences, and yet it has rarely been assessed as a global phenomenon and if it infringes or not human rights.A global trend towards the universal abolition and restriction of the death penalty has resulted in many states adopting life imprisonment as the terminal and conclusive penalty, in most of the countries for the extreme violations and serious crimes. Thus, since the last few decades this long-term conviction has been increasing throughout the world, it has attracted much of the attention towards a principal debate from human rights point of view that whether as an ultimate penalty is life imprisonment acceptable or is merely an act of violation towards human rights.From both a human rights and a prison management perspective, lifeimprisonment poses concerns. In many cases, it is unnecessarily punitive, especially for non‑violent crimes, and does not satisfy the principle of proportionality. Life imprisonment without parole raises issues of cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment, and undermines the right to human dignity by taking away the prospect of rehabilitation.
