settings.<\/li>\n<li>Despite the Government of\u00a0<strong>Malaysia<\/strong>\u00a0defending the legality of judicial corporal punishment under Shari\u2019a law, stating that the punishment imposed \u201cis intended to educate rather than to punish the offender\u201d, the Committee recommended the prohibition of whipping under all circumstances, including under religious law.<\/li>\n<li>To\u00a0<strong>Saudi Arabia<\/strong>, which also defended the use of judicial corporal punishment and misleadingly stated that all corporal punishment was prohibited in homes, schools and penal institutions under current legislation, the Committee expressed concern at the use of physical violence by male guardians to discipline women and children and recommended the repeal of all legal provisions that \u201cexculpate perpetrators of domestic violence, including male guardians\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For further details, see the Global Initiative\u2019s
