The death penalty is a legal punishment for crimes committed in peacetime and wartime. The Constitution of the Republic of Belarus provides that until its abolition, the death penalty may be applied in accordance with the law as an exceptional penalty for particularly serious crimes and only in accordance with the verdict of a court of law. The Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus provides that the death penalty can be imposed for severe crimes connected with the deliberate deprivation of life under aggravating circumstances.
