A UN group called the Committee on the Rights of Children called on Saudi Arabia today to repeal laws that allow the stoning, amputation, flogging and execution of children.

Following Saudi-led airstrikes last week in Yemen that killed or wounded hundreds of children, the committee released a report condemning the kingdom for its failure to protect children.

Eighteen independent experts examined Saudi Arabia’s record of cooperation with the U.N. treaty that protects the rights of children under 18 and were dissatisfied with the way children, females in particular, are being treated.

Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, “still does not recognize girls as full subjects of rights and continues to severely discriminate (against) them in law and practice and to impose on them a system of male guardianship,” according to the experts.

Those over 15 are tried as adults and can be executed. When Saudi Arabia executed 47 people on January 2, 2016, for security offenses, four were under the age of 18.

Bandar Bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, chairman of the Saudi Human Rights Commission, told the UN Committee that Sharia, Islamic law, was above all laws and treaties, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child.  

The UN says that traditional, religious, or cultural attitudes should not be used to justify violations of the right to equality or the treatment of children.
