executed
at least 1,770 people in 2005 — about 80 per cent of the world's total. The true number is widely believed to be many times higher, however.

I think those countries that haven't yet abolished capital punishment are generally the same ones refusing to become members of the international criminal court, an tending to be the same ones waging wars and-or proxy wars in resource-rich countries. And they are the same ones killing in their home countries to demonstrate that killing is wrong.
