Article 27. (2) :
"Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material
interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production
of which he is the author."

I quote you : "Where are these terms in the declaration?"

I agree with you and consider death penalty as against the right to
life. But states and courts do not.

Look at the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms, that covers the right to life (Article 2) : why
did they need to add Protocol 6 to restrict the application of the death
penalty to times of war or "imminent threat of war" ?
