far as human development and economic development are concerned, implementation of capital punishment is done at a higher rate in these countries annually. When these countries are considered we can see that the implementation of representative democracy is done at a lower level in China and Saudi Arabia while Japan, which was a country that spread colonialism in Asia by the time the second world war was being waged, has become a country that spreads strict domination both inside and outside the country. Hence, implementation of capital punishment in a country can be viewed as the result of a complex process driven by the feeling of social, cultural, domination and the influence of religious factors, which is far beyond the human development and economic capability of the country.
