According to the Voice of America, Amnesty International(AI) included North Korea among eleven countries that have carried out executions for five consecutive years since 2011 in an annual report. 

Chiara Sanggiorgio, death penalty researcher at AI, said that Pyongyang's use of execution is excessive, particuly for crimes that do not deserve capital punishment under international law.
