Is it legal to execute child offenders?
International human rights law, specifically the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), prohibits the execution of individuals for crimes committed when they were under 18. Saudi Arabia ratified the UNCRC in 1996, but human rights groups frequently accuse it of violating this commitment, as seen in Youssef al-Manasif's case.
