Report to the UN Secretary-General on the question of a moratorium on the use of the death penalty
Date: 12 April 2022
This submission to the UN Secretary General provides information on
developments regarding the use of the death penalty since 1 July 2020, with a focus on drug offences. Because of a
widespread lack of transparency on the phenomenon, all figures are minimum
confirmed figures, likely to represent only a fraction of actual death
sentences, executions, and death row populations.
