Capital punishment laws by nation

Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is a practice which is intended to kill a person as punishment for crimes they have committed, otherwise known as an execution. It is mostly carried out for the most egregious offenses such as murder and treason, though laws vary by country historically. Common methods include death by firing squad, lethal injection, stoning, and the electric chair. In the modern world, many national governments now view these practices as inhumane, and a significant number of nations have severely limited the extent of the death penalty or outlawed it altogether.
