Spanish term or phrase: itinerarios históricos de defensa de la vida
En el Congreso mundial de Ginebra se puso de manifiesto que autorizados teólogos y representantes religiosos están elaborando motivos que replantean la conexión entre textos sagrados y pena capital según una lectura contemporánea, capaz de amplificar el profundo llamamiento a respetar la vida que contiene toda tradición religiosa y los itinerarios históricos de defensa de la vida, entre los que la pena capital es percibida como un fruto cultural de culturas tradicionales y no como pilar religioso.

agree  Carol Gullidge: I like "sanctity of life". You may have to forego "traditional" as "tradición religiosa " appears immediately before it

  -> Yes, indeed. Or replace "tradición religiosa" with "all religions".

how life has been defended in history


Explanation:
the point the author is making is that the death penalty is a product of traditional (pagan) cultures and not of religion, so I think you need to translate this so as not to refer to sanctity or religion
