Targeted death penalty for occupied populations

A legal trend where a state restores or creates capital‑punishment powers that apply only to people under occupation or a different legal status, while excluding core citizens. This institutionalizes a two‑tier justice system and normalizes lethal punishment as a tool of ethnic or security governance. — If governments adopt laws that permit executions for an occupied or subordinated group but not citizens, it signals a democratic backslide, heightens ethnic tensions, and invites international legal and human‑rights responses.
