Law is the totality of rules that regulate human actions and determine the punishment imposed on the perpetrator. This article aims to analyze the imposition of the death penalty from the perspective of human rights and criminal law. Historically, the death penalty has existed since the time of King Hammurabi in the 18th century BC. William the Conqueror did not give permission for anyone to be executed for any crime. The United States has used the death penalty law since colonial times. Human Rights are rights that every human being has because he is a human being. In view of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the death penalty is prohibited. The first comprehensive confirmation of the death penalty in Indonesia occurred in 1808. After Indonesia became independent, Indonesian criminal law began to be enforced based on the principle of concordance. When determining the death penalty, it must meet the criteria and must also be fair.
