U.S. Dept. of State, Background Note: Saint Lucia, http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2344.htm, Jan. 7, 2010.
 Saint Lucia has not executed a prisoner since 1995, and for several years has not had any prisoners on death row. This state of affairs may be temporary and primarily related to legal barriers to carrying out executions and an unwillingness to sentence inmates to death given that the sentence is unlikely to be carried out.

Saint Lucia is not a party to the ICCPR,  so the Human Rights Committee does not issue concluding observations or decisions regarding human rights in Saint Lucia.
The Universal Periodic Review of human rights in Saint Lucia is scheduled for January 2011: http://www.upr-info.org/-Saint-Lucia-.html.
