Das Land, in dem Kinder hingerichtet werden können

„A UN human rights watchdog called on Saudi Arabia on Friday to end ‚severe‘ discrimination against girls and to repeal laws that allow the stoning, amputation, flogging and execution of children. (…) The committee’s 18 independent experts examined the kingdom’s record of compliance with a U.N. treaty protecting the rights of people under the age of 18. Bandar Bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, chairman of the Saudi Human Rights Commission, who led a Saudi delegation to the committee’s review, told the body that sharia, Islamic law, was above all laws and treaties, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child. But the kingdom had the political will to protect children’s rights, he said.“
