- The General Assembly also elects a member organisation to undertake the work of the World Coalition’s executive secretariat, i.e. its day-to-day management;
- The World Coalition is financed by contributions from its members and the European Union. It is also seeking financing from other institutional sponsors.

About: The World Coalition Against the Death Penalty aims to strengthen the international dimension of the struggle against capital punishment. Wherever the death penalty is in force, it contributes to reducing and, better still, definitively abolishing death sentences and executions.
To do this, the Coalition facilitates the constitution and development of national and regional coalitions against the death penalty, leads lobbying actions towards international organisations and States, and organises events which have an international impact.
In 2003 the Coalition established October 10th as the World Day Against the Death Penalty.Composed of over 60 member organisations, the Coalition was founded in Rome in May 2002.
