Capital punishment is the death penalty for serious crimes like murder. There is disagreement over whether it is moral or effective in deterring crime. Critics argue there is a risk of executing innocent people. Pacifism involves the belief that war and violence are unjustifiable and conflicts should be nonviolently resolved, often for religious or practical reasons. Amnesty International is an international human rights organization that campaigns to improve people's lives and end human rights abuses worldwide. The rules of just war state that war can only be waged defensively as an absolute last resort after all peace efforts fail, must avoid harming innocents, be as brief as possible, and aim to restore peace.
