Under the terms of a 1966 international agreement,[1] most residents of the BIOT are members of the United States military and are correspondingly subject to United States military law for criminal acts, which allows for capital punishment.
Capital punishment in the United Kingdom was abolished for murder in 1965[4] and for all offences in 1998.
Therefore, capital punishment was abolished under the BIOT domestic law at the same time.
