The pace of law reform to prohibit corporal punishment continues to gain momentum with the addition of Liechtenstein to the list of countries achieving full prohibition and reforms in progress in many other states. Pressure from international and regional human rights bodies is also growing, as governments are increasingly examined on their efforts to give children full legal protection from assault. Reports to these bodies from national organisations play a significant role in maintaining this pressure. If your country is listed in this newsletter as coming up for examination on its implementation of human rights instruments, please consider submitting a briefing - we are always pleased to help.
