Abolition is a book of Robert Badinter describing his long 9 year old combat for the abolition of the Capital punishment in France.
The book starts with the execution of Claude Buffet and Roger Bontems (that Badinter regards as an injustice since Bontems, which had not killed, was condemned for complicity of crime) to come to a end with the vote of abolition by the Parlement the September 30th 1981, of which it presented the Bill like Minister of Justice in the second Government Mauroy.
It is the second work of Robert Badinter on the capital punishment, after the Execution , reporting the lawsuit then the last days of Claude Buffet and Roger Bontems. He will write of it a third thereafter, entitled Against the capital punishment .
