Saudi Arabia

Occupying most of the Arabian peninsula, and heavily reliant on oil as its main source of revenue, this Kingdom does not have an elected state legislative body and political parties are outlawed. Serious violations of children’s human rights consistently occur and are very visible. These include, but are not limited to: use of the death penalty, lack of protection of girls’ rights, a high number of children from outside the country employed as labourers, and limitations on freedom of expression.
