There is no international law about it. Nations have the right to decide their own laws on the issue. However the United Nations formally opposes it.

There isn't any. You may want to take a look at the lists of countries with or without the death penalty. You will find that the United States is in the same company as China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq on this. Visit www.deathpenaltyinfo.org and click on International.

The United Nations is officially opposed to capital punishment. Additionally, almost every country has set the minimum eligibility age for the death penalty to 18.

Every country has its own laws; most forbid capital punishment.

There isn't one.
Each country has it's own law as to whether or not to have capital punishment.

Each country (and, in some countries, each state) has its own law.
