Exposing children to these heightened penalties directly contravenes international law and runs counter to the rehabilitative purpose underlying international criminal process safeguards for juveniles. Furthermore, the failure to implement the terms of the JJSO not only violates Pakistan's international obligations, but also violates its obligations to its own people.238 The execution of juveniles neither serves the interests of justice, nor makes Pakistan any safer, and certainly does not respect the rule of law. “I want to say this to the whole world: is this child a terrorist?
