Slovenia abolished the death penalty for all crimes in 1989. The Constitution (1991) at Art. 17 states: "Human life is inviolable. There shall be no death penalty in Slovenia."
Slovenia abolished the death penalty while it was still a member of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It became independent in 1991. On December 4, 2003 Slovenia deposited with the Council of Europe the instrument of ratification of Protocol No 13 to the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms banning the death penalty in all circumstances.
