To the attention of Mr Karl Habsburg-Lothringen

Member of the European Parliament

Brussels, March 5, 1998

Dear Karl,

following our conversation on the abolition of the death penalty and the initiatives in favour of a new resolution on that issue at the Human Rights Commission in Geneva first, and at the UN General Assembly later, I send you some material that can be, I hope, useful to you.

I take this opportunity to include also a brochure on the Radical Party.

See you next week in Strasbourg.

Best wishes,

Olivier

Enclosed:

- the resolution on the abolition of the death penalty adopted last year by the Human Rights Commission;

- a general note on the campaign;

- a note country by country on the question of the death penalty.
