In fact, 123 state-parties to the United Nations, including the Philippines, voted for the global suspension of the death penalty in a Dec. 16, 2020 resolution. Death by hanging is the method used in eight out of 16 countries that continue to practice capital punishment, according to Amnesty International’s 2021 report.
