國際反死刑委員會(ICDP)針對台灣江國慶案之聲明
國際反死刑委員會(The International Commission against the Death Penalty, ICDP )得知一個令人難過的消息,前空軍士兵江國慶於1997年被錯誤處決。 國際反死刑委員會也注意到,台灣總統馬英九和國防部已經正式的為這件事道歉。
國際反死刑委員會強調,即便是最進步的刑事司法制度,都無法迴避致無辜者於死的責難。無論一個司法制度有多先進、完善,都不可能排除錯殺無辜的可能性。江國慶死了,他的死是無法回復的。
國際反死刑委員會對於江國慶先生被錯殺覺得深深遺憾,我們也希望這個例子可以成為其他依然施行死刑國家的借鏡,敦促世界各地立即普遍的停止死刑執行直到全世界都廢除死刑。

Statement by the
International Commission against the Death Penalty
on the execution of Chiang Kuo-ching
in Taiwan
The International Commission against the Death Penalty (ICDP) has received with great sadness the news that Chiang Kuo-ching, former air force private, was wrongfully executed in 1997. The ICDP takes note of the formal apology of the President of Taiwan Ma Ying-jeou as well as the Ministry of National Defence.
ICDP underlines that any criminal justice system, even the most developed one, cannot avoid the condemnation to death of innocent persons. No justice system, no matter how developed it might be, is able rule out the execution of an innocent person. Chiang Kuo-ching is dead and his death is irreversible.
ICDP hopes that the wrong execution of Mr. Chiang Kuo-ching, which deeply regrets, could become an example to the countries that still implement the death penalty, and urges the immediate establishment of a universal moratorium in all regions of the world with a view to its total abolition.
