Generally, individuals cannot be sentenced to death in their home country for crimes committed abroad if their home country prohibits the death penalty, as most countries have legal protections against extradition for capital punishment. However, if a person is tried and convicted in the country where the crime occurred, they may face the death penalty according to that country's laws. International human rights laws and treaties often seek to protect individuals from facing the death penalty, but enforcement and applicability can vary. Ultimately, it depends on the legal agreements between the countries involved.
