The UN Convention bodies have found systematic violations of the right to life in the criminal justice of the United States, such as: discriminatory use of lethal force by the police against women, minorities, people from socially vulnerable groups; the application of the death penalty to innocent people who were later acquitted, racial discrimination during criminal proceedings and the disproportionate application of the death penalty to Afro-Americans, severe suffering of people during the execution of the death penalty. The purpose of this article is to analyze the main violations of the right to life by the United States and the impact of the regulation of the death penalty on the right to life. The final goal of this study is to establish the impact of the use of the death penalty on the guarantee and realization of the right to life on the example of the United States. This article presents an analysis of the practice of applying the death penalty in the United States, the statements of the UN conventional bodies, statistical data, through the prism of positive and negative obligations of the state to guarantee respect for the right to life.

В настоящее время США остается одной из не многих развитых стран, в которых применятся смертная казнь. Конвенциональные органы ООН констатировали систематические нарушения права на жизнь в уголовной юстиции Соединённых Штатов, такие как: дискриминационное применение летальной силы полицией в отношении женщин, меньшинств, людей из социально уязвимых групп; применение смертной казни к невиновным людям, которые позднее были оправданы, дискриминация по расовому признаку во время уголовного процесса и диспропорциональное применение смертной казни к афроамериканцам, сильные страдания людей во время исполнения смертной казни. Цель этой статьи проанализировать основные нарушения права на жизнь Соединёнными Штатами и влияние регламентирования смертной казни на право на жизнь. Конечная цель этого исследования установить влияние применения смертной казни на гарантирование и реализацию права на жизнь на примере США. Эта статья представляет анализ практики применения смертной казни США, констатации конвенциональных органов ООН, статистических данных, через призму позитивных и негативных обязательств государства гарантировать соблюдение права на жизнь. Важность этого исследования состоит в анализе практической реализации права на жизнь в государстве, которое продолжает применять смертную казнь в XXI веке, несмотря на её международный запрет. Уникальность этого исследования состоит в многостороннем рассмотрении влияния смертной казни на реализацию права на жизнь путем анализа конкретных примеров из судебно-уголовной практики США.
