An execution warrant is a warrant which authorizes the execution or capital punishment of an individual. An execution warrant is typically issued by an executive officer rather than by a judicial officer only in a dictatorship or totalitarian regimes.
Judges issue execution warrants when they sentence a person to death after their trial and conviction. This protects the executioner from being charged with murder.
