A Central African Republic (CAR) delegation told the UN Human Rights Committee in July 2004 that no minor had ever been sentenced to death. The last execution took place in 1981, though judges continue to pass death sentences. CAR’s transitional government was not planning to abolish the death penalty, the delegation said.
CAR has been led by General Francois Bozize since March 2003, when he toppled Ange-Felix Patasse in a military coup. Presidential elections in May 2005 returned Bozize to power as president, with more than 64% of the vote in the second electoral round. Bozize had promised "transparent elections" on taking power. His transitional government had intensified efforts to restore and reinforce security countrywide by launching a project of demobilisation and reinsertion of former-combatants and support to communities.
On December 5, 2004 CAR voters overwhelmingly approved a draft constitution that reduces the powers of the president and gives more authority to the prime minister and national assembly.
The last execution took place in January 1981, when six high ranking government officials were executed by firing squad.
On December 18, 2008 Central African Republic abstained on the Resolution on a Moratorium on the Use of the Death Penalty at the UN General Assembly.
