This decision reflects a growing trend towards human rights and reform in the region.
The move to abolish the death penalty comes amid a broader global trend where many countries are reconsidering their stance on capital punishment. Lebanon's decision may also be influenced by international human rights organizations advocating for the end of such practices.
