The Constitution of Bolivia, under article 17 bars the death penalty.

The Constitution of Bolivia, under article 17 bars the death penalty. The Penal Code of 1973, drafted under a former military government, prescribed the death penalty until, in March 1997, Congress adopted law 1768 formally abolishing the death penalty for all ordinary crimes and offences against state security, bringing the Penal Code in line with the Constitution and making Bolivia a completely abolitionist state. Under article 17 of the Constitution, the penalty for murder, parricide and treason is a 30-year jail term.
In August 1999, the rape and murder of 10-year-old Patricia Flores in the capital, La Paz, sparked calls for reinstatement of the death penalty. However, a bill to reinstate the death penalty was rejected by a majority of parliamentarians during a Congressional debate held at the beginning of September 1999. The last execution in Bolivia was in 1974.
