Saint Lucia is a British Independent Territory that retains the death penalty and for which the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council is the final court of appeal. Murder and treason are capital crimes. In 1995, the first execution since 1986 took place. Following the execution, the Attorney General issued a public statement expressing the view that the resumption of hanging would act as a deterrent to crime.
