Located on the north coast of the Island of Borneo, densely forested Brunei Darussalam is surrounded and divided in two by Malaysia. The country became fully independent from Britain in 1984, and has experienced significant economic success off the back of it’s large reserves of oil and gas. Brunei’s punitive juvenile justice system is among the State’s most overt violations of children’s rights: children as young as seven can be held criminally responsible and boys can be sentenced to whipping as a judicial penalty.
