Committing arson on inhabited buildings is punishable by death where it causes the death of one or more persons.  A kidnapping resulting in the death of the victim is punishable by death including where the death was not intended.  A kidnapping resulting in the death of the victim  and committing theft with violence that causes death  are punishable by death including where the death was not intended.
Persons aged less than 18 years cannot be executed under Chadian law.  Under national legislation, the death penalty is commuted to 10 years’ imprisonment for individuals below the age of 18.  The law does not specify whether age is determined at the time the offense was committed or at the time of sentencing. However, Chad is party to the ICCPR  and to the Convention on the Rights of the Child,  which prohibit the execution of individuals for crimes committed while under the age of 18.
Under Article 7 of the Penal Code, pregnant women may be executed after they have given birth.  This is in conformity with Chad’s obligations as a party to the ICCPR,  which prohibits the execution of pregnant women.

By June 2012, we were unable to find any significant published cases concerning the death penalty in Chad.
The Official Gazette of Chad (Journal Officiel de la République de Tchad) is the official source of legislation. It is not available online.
The website of the AHJUCAF, an association of francophone supreme courts, hosts a searchable database of judicial decisions, including decisions handed down by the Chadian Supreme Court: http://www.ahjucaf.org (in French).
Defendants charged with capital murder are tried by the Criminal Court (cour criminelle), which sits temporarily for two sessions a year.  Defendants can appeal on the law to the Supreme Court (Cour suprême)  within 10 days following the day the judgment has been given when the accused attended the trial.  If the Supreme Court finds an error of law, the lower decision is overturned and, if necessary, sent back to a lower court for retrial.
