What are the long-term implications of rising global executions on the international human rights landscape and the rule of law?

The rising number of executions globally, especially in the Middle East, signals a troubling trend towards increased authoritarianism and suppression of dissent. The lack of transparency surrounding executions in China further exacerbates the problem, making it difficult to assess the true scale of the issue. This trend may escalate further unless international pressure increases to challenge the use of capital punishment.

In Iran, at least two executions were related to the 2022 protests following Jina Mahsa Amini's death. Over 40% of executions were for drug-related offenses, highlighting the disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations.
