The examples from history are well known. Does anyone know an example from today that apostasy is threatened with death (or anything else) in any country that is not a predominantly Muslim country?

What if an electorate votes in the party that stands for killing anyone who converts to Christianity? Is there any moral obligation on other nations to intervene in the internal affairs of such a (democratic) state? (Peter K.)

If a country (even backed by a clear majority and a democratic process) violates the UN's Charter of Human Rights there is a moral obligation to intervene in my eyes (for individuals and) countries. The form of the intervention, however, is open to debate. Should for instance 'The West' occupy all countries in which genital mutilation is still allowed? Notes of protest (countries), letters of protest (Amnesty International), public statements (Pope) also can have an influence.

Beyond that there are options like trade restrictions, closing of embassies.

The military option of intervention I would only start to consider if a sizable part of the population of one country is threatened with death (Germany in the 1930s, Bosnia, Rwanda). And even then I would consider if the damage by military intervention is not larger than by the other options of action.
