ii. Amendment of the law to ensure respect for life and dignity 129. Neither the Applicant nor the Respondent State made any specific prayers in respect of the need for amendment of laws to ensure respect for the rights to life and dignity. However, as per its jurisprudence, the Court holds that the consideration of this relief necessarily follows from its earlier findings in respect of the mandatory death penalty in the Respondent State. The inconsistency of the mandatory sentencing regime with the Charter makes it necessary for the Court to make orders dealing with this.37 130. The Court observes that in its previous judgments dealing with the mandatory imposition of the death penalty it has ordered the Respondent State to undertake all necessary measures to remove from its Penal Code the provision for the mandatory imposition of the death sentence. 38 The Court notes that to date it has issued several Rulings for the removal of the mandatory death penalty which were delivered in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023; yet, as at the date of the present judgment, the Court does not have any information to the effect that the Respondent State has implemented the said orders. 131. In the present judgment, the Court has again established that the mandatory imposition of the death penalty violates the right to life guaranteed under Article 4 of the Charter. It, therefore, holds that the said sentence ought to be removed from the statutes of the Respondent State within six months of the notification of the present Judgment. 37 Deogratius Nicholas Jeshi v.
