Capital punishment in Togo
Capital punishment was abolished in Togo in 2009.[1] The country carried out its last execution in 1978.[2] Prior to the death penalty's de jure abolition, Togo was classified as "Abolitionist in Practice."[3]
Togo acceded to the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on 14 Sep 2016.[4] Togo voted in favour of the 2020 United Nations moratorium on the death penalty resolution.[5]
