Summary: As South Sudan achieves independence, it becomes the 30th state worldwide – the 3rd in Africa – to prohibit all corporal punishment of children, including by parents. We also bring news of bills under discussion, international and national campaigns for law reform, new research studies and much more. With plenty of opportunities to contribute to the work of the Global Initiative, we hope this newsletter will both inform and inspire you to continue promoting law reform so that children can be legally protected from assault just as adults are. pdf: http://www.crin.org/docs/Issue17-July2011.pdf
