I don't think any international petitions will work. Look at the efforts many Canadians and others made in petitioning George W. on executing children and the mentally infirm. They boys were under the age of majority and the rule of law was applied in the U.K. The rule of law applies to all minors, regardless of an appearance that "they knew what they did was wrong". What's your solution? Is it the George W. one? I've always viewed execution as state-sanctioned murder. It's barbaric and fails as a deterrent. It's pure revenge. The state takes revenge... Would we then expect then any better from the general public? What kind of higher role model (e.g. George W.) is this? I don't want a justice system based on revenge. I say that for executions to be effective, they must be made public and gruesome (e.g. Medieval style drawing and quartering, followed by decapitation). Never mind hiding the condemned in a room and injecting them with designer drugs. To be effective as a deterrent (as the protagonists say it is), the consequences must be made viscerally obvious to the prospective criminals.
