Death Penalty

(Photo: www.morguefile.com)

Illegal in all EU countries. The Council of Europe has been "death penalty free" since 1997. The death penalty is legal in the US, although it is illegal in some individual states. The Council of Europe both organised a debate about the death penalty between EU MEPs and US politicians in 2003 and asked the US and Japan (the only other observer country to allow the death penalty) to impose a moratorium on death penalties.
