NOTE: Portugal Don’t have Death Penalty since 1852. 142 years!!
So, the 2º Map what means” Does not or did not execute Juvenile offenders 1990-2002???
PORTUGAL DON’T EXECUTE ANYBODY SINCE 1852. ( Had an militar exception in 1911 for crimes of war, one man was executed for ours enourmous shame )
There’s no contradiction: if Portugal doesn’t apply the death penalty, a fortiori it doesn’t execute juvenile offenders. The map is about executing or not executing juvenile offenders. Obviously, states that don’t apply the death penalty in general will also not execute juvenile offenders.

Obviously States that still aplaying for Death Penalty as Justice are commiting a Crime against Humanity.
As Camus said: “The life of a human being is above the State” .
Execution or not execution of Juveniels: That Is Insane! Just a Insane mind can conceive it as the best way to humanity grown up.
