Thirty-three countries still have capital punishment statutes, but are considered abolitionist in practice because they have not exercised the death penalty in more than ten years, and may have developed policies against carrying out executions. Some countries are signatories to an international agreement not to engage in capital punishment. Other than Russia, most of the countries are on the continent of Africa.
