Theme:

The abolition of the death penalty requires, among other things, a human capacity for forgiveness for the people who have suffered from the sanction in various ways. The trauma that capital punishment inflicts on individuals and society as a whole must be acknowledged, addressed, and in time, healed in order to plant the seeds of nonviolence in diverse communities. Further, clemency plays an unquestionable role in the path towards the abolition of the death penalty. This session explores the theme of forgiveness and nonviolence concluding the series in 2025.
