No one has been put to death since independence in 1968. Nauru was previously a Trust Territory under Australia.
On 3 Novembre 2015, Nauru was reviewed under the UPR of the UN Human Rights Council. Concerning the abolition of the death penalty, the delegation of Nauru stated that the provision was part of the Constitution and, owing to the reticence of the Nauruan people to revise the Constitution, the Government had decided to address the matter through the new Criminal Code, removing the death penalty for any type of crime.
On December 20, 2012, Nauru voted in favour of the Resolution on a Moratorium on the Use of the Death Penalty at the UN General Assembly. On December 18, 2014, Nauru was absent during the vote on the Resolution.
