Capital punishment in Bhutan
Overview of capital punishment in Bhutan, including 2008 prohibition
Capital punishment in Bhutan was abolished on March 20, 2004[1] and is prohibited under the 2008 Constitution.[2] The prohibition appears among a number of fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution; while some fundamental rights—such as voting, land ownership, and equal pay—extend only to Bhutanese citizens, the prohibition on capital punishment applies to all people within the kingdom.
