Should Papua New Guinea bring back the death penalty? I believe it should not. The state must protect people and build trust, not take lives. Reintroducing capital punishment would bring many harms and few real benefits.
First, killing people as punishment raises deep moral and human rights questions. When the state chooses death, that action cannot be undone if a mistake is found later. Many people see life and dignity as worth protecting, even for those who commit terrible crimes. International human rights groups and many countries argue that the death penalty is cruel and should end.
Second, there are strong practical worries. No legal system is perfect. Papua New Guinea faces problems like weak courts, limited legal help for poor defendants, and corruption in some places. These problems raise the risk of wrongful convictions. Research also shows the death penalty does not clearly stop crime more than long prison terms do. Bringing it back could create more injustice without making communities safer.
Third, reintroducing the death penalty could harm social healing and local ways of resolving conflict. In many PNG communities, traditional practices and family ties play a big role in justice and reconciliation. Harsh state punishments can make tensions worse and make it harder to support victims and rebuild trust. Better options include stronger policing, fairer courts, rehabilitation for offenders, and services for victims and families.
In short, Papua New Guinea should not reintroduce capital punishment. Instead, the country should invest in making the justice system fairer, protecting victims, and preventing crime in ways that respect human rights. These steps will do more to keep people safe and to build a just society.
