European Criticisms of Death Row
Major European countries have a less stringent implementation of the death penalty. Often, these countries provide shorter sentences on average than the United States, as well as actively call for justification of the use of the Death penalty.

Around 70% of the world's countries have abolished capital punishment. These countries are frequently concerned with their citizens going through the United States criminal system. There have even been instances of other countries citing human rights laws against the United States, or refusing to extradite incriminating material, in fear of their citizens being put on death row.

November 9th, 2020, the United States received persistent criticism on their use of capital punishment during a United Nations review of their human rights record. Many allies of the United States urged that the U.S. cease executions. France urged the U.S. halt executions, Germany suggested a federal moratorium on the death penalty and eventual abolishment, Austria called for the abolishment and halt of executions, and Australia, the Netherlands, and Switzerland all called for the abolishment of the death penalty entirely.
