Capital punishment in Bosnia and Herzegovina is prohibited. It was abolished de facto for all crimes in November 1998 in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (last execution though to be carried there out in 1977 for murder) and on June 21, 2000 in the Republika Srpska. However, it was only on October 4, 2019 that the capital punishment was completely erased from the Constitution of Republic of Srpska, one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's two entities. While it was still in place, it was endorsed under the Article 11 of the Constitution of the Republic of Srpska.[1]

Bosnia and Herzegovina is party to abolitionist international instruments, including the Council of Europe Protocol no.6 and Protocol no.13.
