Capital punishment in Guinea-Bissau
Capital punishment was abolished in Guinea-Bissau in 1993.[1] The country carried out its last execution in 1986.[2] In February 1993, the National People's Assembly (Guinea-Bissau) passed an amendment to the constitution which abolished the death penalty for aggravated murder and treason.[3]
Guinea-Bissau signed the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on 12 Sep 2000, and ratified it on 24 Sep 2013.[4]
