Universal Declaration of Human Rights allows for death penalty

Pro Death Penalty Webpage - "Abolitionists interpret from Article 3 in that [Universal Declaration of Human Rights] to proclaim each person's right to protection from deprivation of life, especially murderers! And they also point to Article 5, which states that no one shall be subjected to cruel or degrading punishment. From this, abolitinists self-righteously declare that the death penalty violates both of these rights. But in fact, nowhere in that declaration is the DP specifically condemned as a human rights violation!
