UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an end to the death penalty on October 10, 2017, insisting it has « no place in the 21st century. » He urged member states that still execute convicts to join the 170 countries that have halted or abolished the practice, warning that the risk of a miscarriage of justice is an « unacceptably high price » to pay. / AFP PHOTO / TIMOTHY A.
