	Jamaica Gleaner - Privy Council admits that some decisions prevent death penalty - Friday \| December 20, 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		THE PRIVY Council office in London has admitted that some of the rulings of its Judicial Committee have had the effect of preventing the death penalty from being carried out in some Caribbean islands.

		The statement from the Privy Council office comes against the background of moves by the Jamaican Government to introduce legislation to reverse the rulings of the Judicial Commit-tee in several cases involving the death penalty.
