I'm sure you could also find other things that the US, or many other countries, have in common with the "nations we consider low on the human rights standard scale". The relevant question is the death penalty itself somehow a human rights abuse. I'm not sure I support it, but I don't think it should be considered a human rights abuse. Certainly it can be in specific cases (death penalty for a minor crime, or without any due process) but the penalty itself is not automatically a human rights abuse.

You should really fight this literal thing of yours Tim...the death penalty is a waning practice. Evolved nations have and are banning it. It is not a deterrent, it is morally wrong (in my non christian opinion) and it is difficult if not impossible to administer fairly.
