According to the United Nations Convention against Torture, stoning is a cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. Stoning is in opposition to articles 3 and 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and of articles 6 and 7 of the International Pact on Civil and Political Rights, which guarantee the right to life and prohibit torture and inhuman treatment. Furthermore stoning because of adultery is against the international principle of commensurability.
On 13 July 2001 at the 112th International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session, Beijing was elected the Host City for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in 2008, regardless the devastating human rights situation in the People's Republic of China. Almost simultaneously to Beijing's election the campaign "clampdown" was started in China, during which more people in were executed in three months than in the whole world in the last three years. Many of the victims were publicly humiliated before their execution by being led into a sports stadium. The Olympic Games as a symbol for peace and international understanding should not be abused in this way.
