This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Yes I checked my own country (Denmark) and that is green, and for Denmark it is decidedly illegal to vote for death penalty.
So the vote was probably about making death penalty illegal.
PS:
AFAIK it would be against the Eu treaty to vote for death penalty for ALL EU countries.
The headline in the image clears up the confusion
Not if you don't know what moratorium means (which I didn't before reading the comments)
