Article 6 8. Death Penalty The criminal law in Korea stipulates the death penalty as a form of punishment, and the court has been sentencing criminals to be executed. However, no death penalty has been executed for a decade since it was last executed for 23 condemned criminals on December 30, 1997; thus, Amnesty International has announced Korea as an “abolitionist in practice” on December 30th, 2007. Nevertheless, death penalty was sentenced, but has never been practiced. For example, the general military court sentenced capital punishment to Sergeant Lim in January 2015 for shooting and killing his colleagues (para. 108-110).
