Spain became completely abolitionist in 1995. The country had been abolitionist for ordinary crimes since 1978.
The last execution took place in 1975, under the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco. Spain, like its European Union partners, refuses to send prisoners to countries where they could face the death penalty.
On December 18, 2007 Spain co-sponsored and voted in favour of the Resolution on a Moratorium on the Use of the Death Penalty at the UN General Assembly.
