By 2025 , Switzerland aimed to achieve a world without the death penalty.

The goal has not been reached, but the trend has long been toward abolition.

Today , only a hard core of around 20 countries regularly carry out executions.

China , Iran , Saudi Arabia and the US still regularly execute people.

The countries with the most executions are quite varied.

China is the country with the highest number of death sentences carried out by far.

Iran also carries out the death penalty for drug offences and religious offences.

Saudi Arabia executed 172 people in 2023 .

The catalogue of offences that can incur capital punishment is wider than ever before.
