A/HRC/45/20 65. States should ensure that persons with psychosocial disabilities and persons with intellectual disabilities are not sentenced to death. Laws and sentencing guidelines must be developed or amended to prohibit the imposition of the death sentence on them, guarantee equality and non-discrimination in their access to justice and ensure procedural accommodations to them in proceedings. 66. The Secretary-General echoes the calls of the Human Rights Council for States to make available relevant, disaggregated information on the number of executions carried out, reversed or pardoned each year. They should systematically and publicly provide full and accurate data on charges and death sentences that are carried out, disaggregated by gender, age, nationality, ethnic origin and other relevant demographics. The lack of data is a serious impediment to international and national debates that may lead to abolition and that are necessary to ensure compliance with international human rights standards. 67. Retentionist States should take heed of United Nations human rights mechanisms’ recommendations and those made by States during the universal periodic review, in order to ensure conformity with international norms and standards and to work towards universal abolition. 19
