This report acknowledges as a good practice Belize’s judicial recognition of domestic violence as a mitigating factor in cases eligible for the death penalty. It also highlights, however, concerns about possible inconsistent application of this precedent; it is unclear whether courts are consistently applying this factor of mitigating circumstances. This report urges Belize to abolish the death penalty and maintain its obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) as they pertain to women in conflict with the law, in particular by codifying as a potential mitigating factor the defendant’s history as a survivor of gender-based violence in all cases, and by promulgating that mitigating factor throughout the judiciary through training in collaboration with civil society organizations.
