capital punishment Capital punishment doodstraf in Dutch language Dutch in the Kingdom of the NetherlandsNetherlands was first abolished in 1870, though only in criminal law , by the Dutch justice minister Van Lilaar. Following the abolition of the death penalty , life imprisonment was made an official punishment in 1878. In military law , however, capital punishment remained a legal option until 1983, when it was explicitly forbidden in the Constitution of the Netherlands Constitution for the Kingdom of the Netherlands . In 1991, all references to the death penalty were removed from Dutch law. Today the Netherlands operates a clear policy against capital punishment, such as not participating in extradition if the suspect has even the slightest chance of receiving the death penalty.
