and how come when I google "Professor Schachtschneider " I don't get any links to a university or any links to publications?

Very odd for a professor, NO??

Thats very funny.

You have got to be able to read german though, lucky me, i lived there 13 years, I can :P
This is what I found

Karl Albrecht Schachtschneider ? Wikipedia

And this is the university he works at. Available to read about in english

Protocol 6 allows for the death penalty in times of war.

Protocol 13 is the complete abolition of the death penalty.

Council of Europe - ETS No. 187 - Protocol No. 13 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, concerning the abolition of the death penalty in all circumstances

Some states are signed up to 6 and others 13. A state that has signed up to the 13th protocol cannot be compelled to introduce the death penalty.

Try not to use youtube as a reference source.

I still can't follow you. Council of Europe has nothing to do with the European Union. Why are we discussing about it?

I have just mentioned it before, to underline the above, that the Council of Europe, and its convention on for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms is not an EU document, and has nothing to do with EU, therefore nothing to do with the Lisbon Treaty.

And the Charter of Fundamental freedoms, which is the EU document, made leagally binding by the Lisbon Treaty, states unambiguosly that the Death penalty is abolished.
