Transcript of Draft ITP Juvenile Justice Paper v2
Practical Application of Corporal (and Capital?) Punishment in the Juvenile Justice Systems of Malaysia and Indonesia
Robin Fagan, Lia Giovanni, Anne Harris, Tess Tannehill
I. INTRODUCTION (Estimated Parts I & II will be 4-5 pages)
International standards for the treatment of juveniles in criminal justice systems are
supposed to ensure that all children, regardless of citizenship, economic circumstances, or
geographic location, are dealt with in an at least a minimally humane manner. Use of capital and
corporal punishment are forbidden by these standards as counter to humane treatment. Under
these standards, a twelve year-old child should be equally able to expect freedom from corporal
or capital punishment in any criminal justice system. What if he is caught in a suburb of Kuala
Lumpur, or a rural Terengganu, or in downtown Jakarta? Unfortunately for our twelve year-old
friend, whether he would indeed be subject to these forms of punishment, or the threat of these
forms of punishment, would vary depending on the jurisdiction in which his case is adjudicated.
This paper will explore the application in practice of corporal and capital punishment for
a juvenile caught up in the juvenile justice systems of Malaysia and Indonesia. Part II of this
paper delineates the international agreements which articulate standards for treatment of
juveniles in detention, with particular focus on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of
the Child. Part III explores the extent to which Malaysia and Indonesia have embraced these
standards in their domestic laws. Part IV provides with quantitative data regarding usage of
corporal and capital punishments of juveniles in both countries. Part V outlines alternative
rehabilitation schemes in the countries that provide options for the juvenile justice systems to
deter, punish, and rehabilitate that are compliant with the standards set by the United Nations.
Finally, Part VI discusses the extent to which the countries are complying with the international
1
standards for treatment of juveniles, the feasibility of achieving full compliance in each country,
and reforms that each could put in place to increase their compliance.
II. INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND AGREEMENTS
The United Nations, as an influential international organizations working towards
international peace, progress, and human rights,1 has adopted conventions and declarations in its
General Assembly to advance its goals.2 The General Assembly is composed of all 192 members
of the United Nations,3 and the resolutions it passes are intended to provide a framework for
member states to “harmonize the actions” they take to address issues.4 In the 1989, the General
Assembly took up the issue of the human rights of juveniles and adopted resolution
A/RES/44/25, the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (“CRC”).5
Since its adoption, the CRC has been accepted by a 194 countries, including both
Malaysia and Indonesia.6 Malaysia acceded to the CRC on February 17, 1995.7 Indonesia
ratified CRC on September 5, 1990. In becoming parties to this convention, both countries
agreed to abide by its terms. The CRC prohibits use of both corporal and capital punishment of
juveniles. Article 37 of the CRC addresses this issue directly. Additional articles provide
clarification as to persons covered, obtain parties’ agreement on the individual dignity interests
underlying the convention, and limit a party’s ability to sign the CRC but evade its provisions.
Article 6, for example, provides general statements which identify some of the policy
behind adoption of the CRC, which the party to the convention accepts on ratification or
acceptance of, or accession or succession to, the convention in their home country. Section 1 of

Article 6 explicitly demands agreement, from all the party countries, that each party
“recognize[s] that every child has the inherent right to life.”8 Article 1, Section 2, commits the
parties to agree to “ensure to the maximum extent possible the survival and development of the
child.”9 While these sections offer broad concepts of purpose and values and obtain the
agreement of CRC parties to these concepts, the detailed information about the actions that
parties must take or ban to comply with the convention are contained elsewhere in the document.
Article 1 is more specific. It identifies the age of majority at 18 years old, so that all
provisions in the CRC’s articles specifically apply to all persons under 18 years old.10 If the
child’s country recognizes an earlier age at which children reach majority, then the CRC
recognizes that earlier date.11 However, that younger age of majority must have been specified in
the laws applicable to the child, such as the child’s country’s domestic laws.12 This section also
illustrates a potential weakness in the CRC, conflicts between provisions of the CRC and a
country’s domestic laws, which may have been enacted for legitimate governmental reasons.
Article 51, Section 2 addresses directly the risk of a party using a domestic law to
circumvent a provision of the CRC. This article addresses the practice of reservations. A party
may make a declaration or statement of reservation, typically on its ratification, acceptance,
accession, or succession to a treaty.13 In a statement of reservation, a party explicitly reserves
some part of the treaty from application to itself.14 The risks of a party making a reservation to a

(For the purposes of the present Convention, a child means every human being below the age of eighteen years unless, under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.)11 http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/RES/44/25&Lang=E, pg. 167.12 http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/RES/44/25&Lang=E, pg. 16713 http://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=IV-11&chapter=4&lang=en#EndDec.14 http://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=IV-11&chapter=4&lang=en#EndDec. For example, the United States ratified the U.N. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). http://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=IV-4&chapter=4&lang=en#EndDec. Article 6 of the ICCPR recognizes the death penalty as an exception to the right to life, states that abolishment of the death penalty is its ultimate objective, and binds parties that have not yet abolished the death penalty to certain

portion of a treaty include ambiguity, uncertainty, and implement difficulties; a party may
effectively excuse itself from a critical feature of the treaty.15 Article 51, Section 2 states that
“[a] reservation incompatible with the object and purpose of the present Convention shall not be
permitted.”16 Thus limiting a country’s ability to sign on to, and surreptitiously opt of, CRC.
Neither Malaysia nor Indonesia made any reservation upon ratification or accession to CRC.
Article 37 directly addresses capital punishment and indirectly addresses corporal
punishment.17 In regards to capital punishment, 37(a) states, “[n]either capital punishment nor
life imprisonment without possibility of release shall be imposed for offences committed by
persons below eighteen years of age.”18 Parties to the convention are thus agreeing to refrain
from any capital punishment of those under eighteen, no matter the circumstances of the child’s
arrest and conviction. This would include those convicted of serious offences, violent crimes,
terrorism, and involvement in the drug trade.
procedural safeguards in its implementation. http://www2.ohchr.org/english/law/ccpr.htm. However, the U.S. entered a reservation on Article 6 and has not abolished the death penalty. See Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153 (1976)(upholding the use of the death penalty). However, the procedural safeguards laid out in Article 6, such as the right to seek pardon or commutation of the death sentence, are part of the U.S. federal criminal justice system. http://www.justice.gov/pardon/clemency.htm. 15 Alain Pellet, Special Rapporteur, United Nations, First Report on the Law and Practice Relating to Reservations to Treaties, 141-145, A/CN.4/470.

Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 37 states: “Parties shall ensure that: (a) No child shall be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Neither capital punishment nor life imprisonment without possibility of release shall be imposed for offences committed by persons below eighteen years of age; (b) No child shall be deprived of his or her liberty unlawfully or arbitrarily. The arrest, detention or imprisonment of a child shall be in conformity with the law and shall be used only as a measure of last resort and for the shortest appropriate period of time; (c) Every child deprived of liberty shall be treated with humanity and respect for the inherent dignity of the human person, and in a manner which takes into account the needs of persons of his or her age. In particular, every child deprived of liberty shall be separated from adults unless it is considered in the child's best interest not to do so and shall have the right to maintain contact with his or her family through correspondence and visits, save in exceptional circumstances; (d) Every child deprived of his or her liberty shall have the right to prompt access to legal and other appropriate assistance, as well as the right to challenge the legality of the deprivation of his or her liberty before a court or other competent, independent and impartial authority, and to a prompt decision on any such action.18 http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/RES/44/25&Lang=E.

Article 37 reference to corporal punishment is less direct. 37(a) states, “[n]o child shall
be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”19 While
37(c) states that “[e]very child deprived of liberty shall be treated with humanity and respect for
the inherent dignity of the human person.”20 These statements did not explicitly label corporal
punishment as a cruel, inhuman, or degrading form of treatment, and some parties did not
interpret the language to include corporal punishment. By 2006, the Committee on the Rights of
the Child, the UN committee charged with monitoring the issue, had recommended prohibition
of corporal punishment in schools, penal institutions, and within families, to more than 130
parties.21 The Committee also lamented wide acceptance and practice of corporal punishment.22
As a result, the Committee decided to issue general comments, of which General
Comment 8(2006) was one,23 concerning violence against children to guide parties in grasping
“the provisions of the Convention concerning the protection of children against all forms of
violence.”24 The Committee stated unambiguously that CRC parties were obligated to move
quickly to prohibit corporal punishment and eliminate tolerance of all corporal punishment and
“other cruel or degrading forms of punishment” of juveniles.25 The Committee also stated that
parties must enact legislative, awareness-raising, and education measures to further these goals.26
III. DOMESTIC LAW OF MALAYSIA AND INDONESIA (Estimated will be 10 pages)
Both Malaysia and Indonesia have enacted domestic legislation to give effect to the CRC
within their own countries. Both countries also have a full panoply of laws in their domestic

penal codes prohibiting and mandating conduct and prescribing punishments for failure to
comply. Both codes contain laws which allow for punishments which conflicts with the
provisions of the CRC.
A. Malaysia
Though Malaysia acceded to the CRC in 1995, and thereafter enacted the Malaysian
Child act of 2001, its criminal code still permits corporal punishment of juveniles.
(i) Malaysian Child Act 2001
The Malaysia Child Act 2001 (Act 611 of the Laws of Malaysia) is a consolidation of
three previous laws which related to child protection and juvenile justice.27 The Act’s purpose is
to ensure that protections are maintained for children caught up in the legal environment, either
the criminal justice system or child protection and care.28 The Act criminalizes actions
detrimental to the child, such as abuse, neglect, abandonment or exposing a child to physical or
emotional injuries.29 Part 2, section 3 of the Act established the National Council for the
Protection of Children, an office which advises the government on child protection issues.30 The
Council is responsible for the design of a management system to report cases of children in need
of protection and to develop programs to educate the public on the prevention of child abuse and
neglect.31 Part IV, Sections 11-16, ordered the creation of a Court for Children, to handle to
special needs of those, and only those, defendants under eighteen years.32

The three previous laws were the Juvenile Courts Act 1947, Women and Young Girls Protection Act 1973 and http://www.unicef.org/malaysia/protection_4209.html.

Part X of the Act specifically sets out the “Criminal Procedure in Court for Children.”33
Some provisions clearly embody protective aspects, such as Chapter 1, mandating that children
be separated from adult prisoners, and Chapter 2, requiring a parent or guardian to attend the
legal proceedings.34 Others, however, do not, such as Chapter 3, Section 92, Manner of
Executing Whipping.35 This provision is in direct conflict with the CRC and Malaysia’s
obligations as a party to that convention. Yet Chapter 3, Section 97, does state that death
sentences shall not be imposed on prisoners who were children at the time of the offense, which
comports with Malaysia’s CRC obligations.36
(ii) Malaysian Penal Code
The Malaysian criminal law prescribes caning as an additional punishment to
imprisonment.37 Even for those convicted only of non-violent offences, such as possession of
drugs and alien smuggling.38 Those convicted of very serious offences may also have a sentence
of caning added to their term of confinement.39 For example, judges routinely included caning in
sentences of those convicted of such crimes as kidnapping, rape, and robbery.40 While the law
does exempt some person from this punishment, such as men older than 50 and all women, male
children are not an exempt group.41 “Male children 10 years of age and older may be given up to
10 strokes of a ‘light cane.’”42

Some states have Shari'a laws which also prescribe caning; there are no exemptions for
females under Shari'a.43 Shari'a, administered by state authorities through Islamic courts, bind all
Muslims (many of whom are ethnic Malays). The laws and the degree of their enforcement
varied from state to state.44 Local Islamic officials cited deterrence rather than retribution as the
rationale for caning.45 They stated that the idea is to make offenders ashamed so that they will
repent and not re-offend and any injury is incidental.46 During the third quarter of 2009, the most
recent period for which information has been published. Shari'a courts sentenced four people to
caning, though none were juveniles.47

(TBD)
B. Indonesia
Indonesia signed and ratified the CRC in 1990. Indonesian laws protect children from
“inhumane punishment,” which has been interpreted to make corporal punishment for children
unlawful, no explicit prohibition exists. In provinces where Shari’a law has been adopted (e.g.,
Aceh), various corporal punishment methods, including flogging and stoning, are still
permitted.48
(i) Relevant Domestic Laws
43 http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2009/eap/135998.htm (“In Shari'a caning, a smaller cane is used, and the caning official cannot lift the cane above his shoulder, thus reducing the impact. Additionally, the subject is fully covered with a robe so that the cane will not touch any part of the flesh.”)44 http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2009/eap/135998.htm.45 http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2009/eap/135998.htm.46 http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2009/eap/135998.htm.47 http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2009/eap/135998.htm.48 According to the Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment Against Children.

The relevant domestic laws are the 1997 Children’s Court Law, the 2002/ 2003 Child
Protection Law, and the Indonesian Penal Code. Some jurisdictions, particularly Aceh, have
strong Sharia’ courts, as well.49

IV. STATISTICS REGARDING THE USE OF CORPORAL AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN JUVENILE DETENTION
(Estimated will be 10 pages)
A. Malaysia
Caning is allowed in Malaysia as an additional punishment option for at least 40 crimes,
despite the knowledge that such punishments contravene international human rights standards.
SUARAM, a Malaysian human rights group, reported in an 11 month period in 2002, thirteen
people were sentenced to whipping by the courts for various crimes typically involving sex or
drugs. SUARAM reported just two years prior the reported canings were for 53 people,
indicating the caning rates had dropped by two-thirds in just a few years.50 This statistic suggests
caning is not a common form of punishment in Malaysia, yet many local experts would suggest
this rather low number is also quite misleading. Given the common use of severe caning
punishments for illegal immigrants and those within the prison system, and milder canings for
school-children, one would expect the actual (unreported) caning statistic to be much greater.
B. Indonesia
49 http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2009/eap/135992.htm (“Under the Shari'a court system in Aceh, 19 district religious courts and one court of appeals heard cases. The courts heard only cases involving Muslims and used decrees formulated by the local government rather than the penal code. Critics argued that Shari'a regulations were procedurally ambiguous. For example, defendants had a right to legal aid, but this right was inconsistently implemented. Although Shari'a cases were supposed to be tried in closed hearings, during the year there were numerous problems with trial proceedings going forward in open court.”) 50 www.amnesty.org; http://web.archive.org/web/20030504123553/http://web.amnesty.org/library/print/ENGASA280032002

Indonesia has only recently introduced caning on the public stage and condoned the
process, with canings now allowed in Aceh province since 2005. Although there are no
published statistics, journalistic reports suggest these canings are reported at a rate of under one
per week, yet in actuality are believed to occur with greater frequency.
V. ALTERNATIVE REHABILITATION PROGRAMS
(Estimated will be 10 pages)Indonesia and Malaysia have both begun the process of implementing alternative
methods to corporal and capital punishment as punishment for crimes committed by juveniles.
MALAYSIA
In Malaysia, children under the age of eighteen may be sentenced to life in prison, be
caned, and even be sentenced to capital punishment in certain circumstances.51 For example,
Article 91(g) of the Child Act authorizes courts to “order the child, if a male, to be whipped with
not more than ten strokes of a light cane – (i) within the Court premises; and (ii) in the presence,
if he desires to be present, of the parent or guardian of the child”.52 While these options all exist,
the Malaysian government has become increasingly interested in providing alternate methods for
punishing Malaysian youth.53
The Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam)54, one of the organizations in
charge of ensuring compliance with the Child Act of 2001, has emphasized the need for
rehabilitative measures rather than violent means of punishment for Malaysian youth.55 One of
the ways in which Malaysia has shown such intent has been to create “alternative schools”.

10
Juvenile offenders are sentenced to such places for a determined period of time rather than being
placed in prisons with adult prisoners. While the Child Act of 2001 requires that children need
to be placed separately from adults, a provision within the rules depends on what the local
conditions permit, therefore allowing children to be placed in adult prisons in certain
circumstances.56 The existence of the alternative schools allows for a more nurturing
environment than typical prisons, which oftentimes lack access to educational and other
important opportunities. Consequently, the significance of such a practice is considerable.
At the Henry Gurney schools in Malaysia, “alternative schools” that are limited to
juveniles only, rehabilitation program are offered that includes four phases: orientation, character
building, skills and pre-release/community work.57 Religious training and various activities are
also a part of what is available at these alternative schools. Additionally, computer labs and
state-level success for sports teams allow for the enrichment of students sentenced to such
institutions.58
INDONESIA
Indonesia has not yet implemented some of the measures taken by its neighbor, Malaysia.
The legal basis in dealing with juvenile delinquents is contained in the Juvenile Court Act
(1997). According to the Law, the judge has three alternatives in dealing with a child who
commits crimes: (i) The child may be sent back to his parents or family without any sanction; (ii)
The child may be sent to a government institution without any sanction; or (iii) The child may be
found guilty and punished. Within criminal sanctions, a court can sentence a child to
imprisonment, detention, fine, or supervision.59
56 See prison Act Section 49 (3) SMR http://www.suhakam.org.my/c/document_library/get_file?p_l_id=30217&folderId=236834&name=DLFE-7802.pdf57 Id. 58 Id. 59 http://www.unafei.or.jp/english/pdf/RS_No68/No68_16PA_Mardite.pdf
11
Many Indonesian children who are convicted of crimes are placed within adult detention
facilities due to overcrowding or lack of accessibility to juvenile justice centers.60 Such scenarios
allow these juvenile inmates to be at high risk for physical, sexual, and emotional abuse from the
other inmates.61
However, more recently, the Indonesian government has offered less restrictive options
for youth. In February of 2010, the government pardoned five hundred from juvenile detention
facilities saying that the best place for children is with their families.62 Additionally, the
Indonesian government is in the process of drafting a bill that would send children sentenced for
crimes to be sent to social rehabilitation homes rather than to prisons or juvenile justice centers.63
V. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS, FUTURE TRENDS, AND SOME SUGGESTED REFORMS
(Estimated will be 10 pages)This section of the paper will draw heavily on our group’s field research, focusing on
current reform efforts and the feasibility of Indonesia and Malaysia becoming fully compliant
with the U.N. CRC. While the previous section focuses on alternative forms of punishment (that
could be used in lieu of corporal punishment), this section of the paper will describe the extent to
which those alternatives have been adopted. In addition, to the extent that they have not been
adopted, we will describe how feasible and timely future reform is likely to be. Furthermore, we
will attempt to report on advocates’ lessons learned from previous reform efforts and perceived
implementation challenges in the future. Overall, this portion of the analysis will be forward-
looking, as it will describe the perceived need for future reform (if any), the feasibility of that
reform, implementation challenges that will likely be encountered, and logical next steps, all of
