The United Nations General Assembly has adopted in 2007, 2008 and 2010 calling for a global moratorium on executions, with a sense to abolition. Although many nations have abolished capital punishment, over 60% of the world's population live in countries where executions take place. The People's Republic of China, India, the United States of America and Indonesia are the four most popular countries in the world. They continue to apply the death penalty. Each of these four nations voted against the General Assembly resolutions.
