AI justification

State-sanctioned executions violate core human rights and undermine global justice norms. | The execution of nearly 100 people, including for drug-related offences, constitutes a severe violation of the right to life and due process under international law. This action undermines multiple SDGs, particularly SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), and represents a regressive step in human rights protection.
