Its an opinion based on observation... it doesn't have to be empirically noted to be noteworthy.
But if you want something empirical... liberal democratic states are most inclined to be opposed to capital punishment (most don't have it, US is the big exception and its not universal there)... as well, the majority of apologies for past acts have come either on the demand of a liberal democratic state (Germany post WW2) or by a liberal democratic state itself.
