Report detailing the legality of inhuman sentencing against children in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The United Arab Emirates is a federal state consisting of seven semi-autonomous Emirates. Criminal justice is governed primarily by federal law, although local laws (at Emirate level) are applicable in certain circumstances. Shari’a law is also applied in criminal matters. Child offenders may lawfully be sentenced to capital punishment and corporal punishment under Islamic law. They cannot be sentenced to life imprisonment.
