As a direct response to atrocities incurred during World War II, international law has absorbed a number of restrictions against the death penalty by demanding its abolition or setting limits for its application. The abolition movement of the death penalty gains concomitant musculature with the rooting of democracy around the world, and the decade of 1990 can be considered the great culmination of this process. At this point the objective of this work is to illustrate the evolution of the death penalty as an instrument of political pressure and criminal punishment and the subsequent evolution of human instruments that aims not only to put limits on the application of capital punishment but also to the abolition of this punishment.
