We therefore urge your Excellency's Government to take all necessary measures to guarantee that Yunes Aghayan is not deprived of his life in violation of the obligations your Excellency's Government has entered into under international law. Considering the irremediable nature of capital punishment, this can only mean suspension of the death sentence against him until the question whether the acts he was found guilty of satisfy international criteria for what constitutes 'most serious crimes' has been clarified.
