摘要

廢止死刑，儼然已成為國際的潮流及趨勢，基於死刑的廢止，實有助於人權的保障與提升。因此，國際社會之人權（組織）團體，紛紛響應應該廢止不人道之死刑制度，以維護人道正義及人權之發揚。
　　本論文之架構，乃以日本國憲法之生命權相關條文與自由權公約第六條為主軸而加以論述，進而求證有關死刑廢止在國際社會所受到之重視。漸漸將焦點縮小至日本國憲法本身相關條文如何定義生命權，乃至於生命權如何保護之分析。此外，更聚焦在自由權公約第六條與日本國憲法第三六條，就死刑廢止推動，做一研究及探討，過去傳統學說及世人對死刑廢止之誤解，藉由本論文加以反論及詮釋，以期讓死刑廢止在人權發展上更加受到重視。
　　再者，針對憲法第三六條考察死刑廢止論，進而導出死刑廢止之架構；並探討死刑誤判及死刑判決重審無罪等判例之研究。透過自由權公約第六條為主軸，研析公約對死刑廢止之期盼。最後，導出自由權公約第六條追求死刑廢止為其終極目標之結論。
藉由歐美各國以終身刑導入而廢止死刑之經驗，做為日本仿傚之活標本，以具體之行動方案，取代高談濶論之空想。
