NEW YORK, Oct 11 (LSN.ca) – Once again the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has shown itself to be on an ideological agenda far removed from the promotion of children’s well-being. Concluding its 25th session yesterday, it issued recommendations to Finland, Burundi, the United Kingdom, Tajikistan, Colombia, the Central African Republic, the Marshall Islands, Slovakia, and the Comoros. The committee recommended banning spanking by parents, advocated pro-abortion sex education and promoted homosexuality.
The official UN report on the committee’s action notes that with regard to Burundi, “deep concern was expressed … that corporal punishment continued to be practised at home and in some schools and that domestic legislation did not prohibit its use.” In addressing the Overseas Territories, again the committee “expressed grave concern that corporal punishment was still widely practised in many of the Overseas Territories and that domestic legislation generally did not prohibit and eliminate its use in schools, care institutions and homes; and it recommended that all appropriate measures be taken to prohibit and eliminate its practice.” Similar recommendations were given to Roma and the Isle of Man.
Regard the Isle of Man “the Committee strongly recommended, among other things … that measures be taken to prevent discrimination based on the grounds of sexual orientation” – the initial step in pro-homosexual legislation the world over. The committee also recommended that the country “improve the provision of … reproductive health education and assistance to both adolescents and adults.”
