Executions and Extrajudicial Killings

Michael Backman

Chapter Chapter 6 in The Asian Insider, 2004, pp 35-41 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Every country in Asia has the death penalty on its statute books except one: Cambodia. Evidently, Cambodia lost the taste for state-sponsored killing after the Pol Pot years and his notorious Killing Fields. Asia’s governments are active executioners too, accounting for as much as 80% of all the world’s judicial executions. Grim as these facts are, they contribute to a more complete picture of Asia, which is essential for those intent on committing funds to the region.
