to the mandatory imposition of the death penalty and the right to inherent dignity, guaranteed under Article 5 of the Charter, in relation to the method of execution of the death penalty, as meted out against the Applicant, that is, by hanging. 65. The Court, therefore, orders the Respondent State to take all necessary measures to repeal, within six months of the notification of this Judgment, the provision for the mandatory imposition of the death sentence from its laws.14 66. The Court further orders the Respondent State to take all necessary measures, within one year of the notification of this Judgment, to vacate the sentence, remove the Applicant from death-row and rehear his case on sentencing through a procedure that allows judicial discretion.15 67. Regarding the Court’s finding that the method of execution of the death penalty by hanging is inherently degrading,16 the Court orders the Respondent State to undertake all necessary measures to remove “hanging” from its laws as the method of execution of the death sentence, within six months of the notification of this Judgment.17 68. The Court further observes that, for reasons now firmly established in its practice,18 and in the peculiar circumstances of this case, publication of this judgment is necessary. Given the current state of law in the Respondent State, threats to life associated with the mandatory death penalty persist in the Respondent State.
