The Papua New Guinea Government says the people should be ready for the government to begin executing death row prisoners.
Papua New Guinea's Attorney-General says the country needs to prepare for the government to begin carrying out the death penalty.
PNG's parliament passed legislation in May to reactivate the death penalty and apply it to seven offences like murder and aggravated rape.
The Attorney-General Kerenga Kua says officials have visited the US state of Texas, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia to investigate different methods of capital punishment
"Their job was to go and work out the kind of technicalities involved; the kind of facilities you need to have for this process to take place and the technical methods you need to use." he said.
The team from the Constitutional and Law Reform Commission is now preparing a submission to the government based on their findings.
Mr Kua says it is not a process the government wants to rush.
"You're going to be dealing with human lives so you have to take your time and take each step in a considered and very careful manner,
"We are working through it very very very carefully as we progress this matter forward it is an important agenda for the state, the government is determined to see it through." he said
Mr Kua says the people of PNG need to accept that the death penalty will be carried out in the country.
"I don't want to see people jumping up and down in protest as we get closer to the day," he said.
He says the country is suffering from a law and order crisis and now that the death penalty is on the law books, the government is expected to implement it.
PNG already has around a dozen prisoners on death row and Mr Kua says they should be ready for executions to be carried out sooner rather than later.
"The relatives must get themselves ready now, relatives of the people on death row must come to terms that this is going to unfold in the normal course of government," he said.
