Revision as of 10:53, 13 October 2007
At one time capital punishment was used in almost every part of the globe, but over the last few decades many countries have abolished it. Amnesty International classifies countries into four categories.
- 64 countries still maintain the death penalty in both law and practice.
- 90 countries have abolished it completely.
- 11 retain it, but only for crimes committed in exceptional circumstances (such as crimes committed in time of war).
- 32 countries maintain laws permitting the use of the death penalty for ordinary crimes, but have allowed the death penalty to fall into disuse for at least 10 years.
It is not unknown, however, for countries to practice extrajudicial execution sporadically or systematically outside their own formal legal frameworks. This list includes several unrecognized states with de facto control over their territory.
