Cuba reported that the Supreme Court, if it upholds a death sentence, is obliged by law to forward the record of proceedings to the Council of State, which is the body with jurisdiction to exercise the right of pardon or to commute the death sentence to a prison sentence.
古巴报告称，根据法律，最高法院如维持死刑判决，则有义务将审判记录提交国务委员会这一有权行使赦免权或将死刑减为徒刑的机关。
