Capital punishment was abolished in Mauritius in 1995, following the adoption of the Abolition of Death Penalty Act 1995 (No. 31 of 1995).[1][2] The last execution was carried out in Mauritius in 1987.[1]
Mauritius is not a state party to the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.[3] It voted in favour of the 2020 UN moratorium on the death penalty.[4]
