The United Nation chief has expressed his deep regret that Indonesia went ahead with the executions of eight people on death row, including two Australians.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said the death penalty had no place in the 21st century and this view was supported by a growing number of UN member countries.
"The Secretary-General urges all countries where the death penalty is still in place to join this movement and declare a moratorium on capital punishment, with a view toward abolition," his office said in a statement.
Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were executed by firing squad on Wednesday despite the federal government's pleas for clemency.
