World Day Against the Death Penalty began in 2002. Its objective is to end capital punishment worldwide.

• 107 countries have abolished the death penalty for all crimes.

• Seven countries have abolished the death penalty for all crimes except extraordinary crimes such as those committed during war.

• 28 countries can be considered abolitionists of the practice because they have not executed anyone in the last ten years and have policies or established practices of not carrying out executions.

• Therefore, 142 countries have abolished the death penalty in law or practice.

• 56 countries and territories still uphold the death penalty and use this punishment.

• 23 countries carried out executions in 2017.

• In 2017, the top five executioners were China, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.
