The paper addresses polemical issues related to capital punishment (CP) examining the pros and cons of CP. Arguments in favour and against CP are reviewed describing international movements that have promoted the abolition of CP, considering whether CP is a more economical alternative to life imprisonment, discussing the principal of “an eye for an eye,” etc. Conclusion is made that there are too many flaws in the death penalty to call it the instrument of justice.
