Canada abolished capital punishment for ordinary crime in 1974 or 5, and for all crimes in 1998.
The Netherlands abolished the death penalty for ordinary crimes in 1870, had the last execution in 1952 and completely abolished it in 1982.
In 1942 the exiled Dutch government, based in London, changed the law and reintroduced the death penalty for those that had betrayed other people. 156 were convicted and in 1952 , 40 of those were executed.
