Linking the issue of suicide to the question of the death penalty, we will start from approaches to life and death in Chinese thought, then compare legal and judicial practices in time - Chinese history - and space - the contemporary Chinese situation compared to those in Japan, Europe and the United States. As these practices become increasingly internationalized, under the dual influence of human rights and international criminal law, interdisciplinary research (historical, philosophical, legal) becomes necessary to pave the way towards a globalization that is not synonymous with Westernization. Hence the twofold question that will conclude our days, on the possible emergence of a community of values and on the future of a universal abolition of the death penalty.
