Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Liberia. However, Liberia is classified as "Abolitionist in Practice." Liberia last executed in 2000.[1]

Liberia acceded to the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on 16 September 2005.[2] However, Liberia expanded the scope of the death penalty in 2008, which was met with international criticism.[3] However, in July 2022, the Senate of Liberia passed a bill to abolish the death penalty.[4][5]

There were no new death sentences in Liberia in 2021. There was estimated to be at least 16 people on death row at the end of 2021.[6]
