Lisbon Treaty Allows for Death Penalty Across E.U.
PJC Journal – April 13, 2008
Professor Schachtschneider pointed out that it [the European Union reform treaty, a.k.a. the Lisbon Treaty] also reintroduces the death penalty in Europe, which I think is very important, in light of the fact that, especially Italy was trying to abandon the death penalty through the United Nations, forever.
And this is not in the treaty, but in a footnote, because with the European Union reform treaty, we accept also the European Union Charter, which says that there is no death penalty, and then it also has a footnote, which says, “except in the case of war, riots, upheaval” – then the death penalty is possible.
Schachtschneider points to the fact that this is an outrage, because they put it in a footnote of a footnote, and you have to read it, really like a super-expert to find out!

Summer of Rage Could Be Lethal
UK Libertarian Party – March 9, 2009
on 20th Feb 2008 a caucus meeting was held at the German Parliament in Munich to discuss the Lisbon Treaty. At this meeting a previously unmentioned paragraph was brought to light by Professor Schachtschneider, Humanities Faculty -University of Nuremberg. Professor Schachtschneider explained that the undisclosed paragraph means on ratification of the Lisbon Treaty the DEATH PENALTY will be reintroduced to Europe. The Death Penalty will be applicable for the crimes of RIOTING, CIVIL UPHEAVAL and DURING WAR. (When are we not at war and who will define riot and upheaval?)Professor Schachtschneider made the point that this clause is particularly outrageous as it had been cleverly hidden in aotnote of a footnote and would not have been detected by anyone other than an exceptional expert reader.
