COMMENTARY     

Joao
8th January 2011 		You're wrong . Death penalty in Portugal was abolishes in the 188x's.
Boomslang
4th January 2011 		The Former West German Federal Republic explicitly abolished the death penalty right from her inception in 1949. The Constitution (Grundgesetz) stated 'Die Todesstrafe ist abgeschafft.' (The death penalty is abolished.) The later date stated above must be for the German Democratic Republic, the former East Germany.
Victor (Portugal)
30th May 2006 		In Spain, in 1978, the dead penalty was only abolished for ordinary crimes. See http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_dea_pen_abo_for_ord_cri

This page refers to all types of crimes (including military and war crimes).

23rd March 2005 		According to Amnesty International over half of the countries in the world -- a total of 118 -- have now abolished the death penalty, either in law or in practice. Of these, 83 have abolished the death penalty for all crimes and 13 have abolished the death penalty for all but exceptional crimes, such as wartime crimes. A further 22 countries can be considered abolitionist in practice -- although they retain the death penalty in law they have not executed anyone for the past 10 years or more and this appears to be an established policy.

A total of 78 countries and territories retain and use the death penalty, although the number of countries which actually execute prisoners in any one year is much smaller. In 2003, 28 countries carried out executions, with 84% taking place in China, Iran, the USA and Vietnam. People were sentenced to death in 63 countries.
