Journal Title: The Journal of Human Rights - Year 2008, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Nowadays despite cumulative effort faring for advocacy of children, various kinds of violence and oppression against them especially in corporal punishment mode still hold. This article by studying advanced standpoints and reviewing of the results of corporal punishment intends to answer these questions: is child corporal punishment allowed along decorum and nurturance of him? And do standpoint of the shia (fighhe imamie) and rules of the Iranian civil code hereupon accord with the convention on the Rights of the child? چکیده امروزه، به رغم تلاش فزایندهای که در حمایت از کودکان صوت میگیرد، هنوز شکلهای مختلفی از خشونت و آزار علیه آنها به ویژه در قالب تنبیه بدنی ادامه دارد. بسیاری بر این باورند که به موجب سرپرستی والدین و مسئولیت مربیان در تربیت کودکان و جلوگیری از کجروی آنها، در مواردی میتوان تنبیه بدنی را به کار برد. این در حالی است که دانشمندان زیادی برای حمایت از پیماننامه حقوقی کودک، بر ممنوعیت هرگونه بدرفتاری و خشونت علیه کودکان تأکید مینمایند. مقاله حاضر با مطالعه دیدگاههای ارائه شده در این زمینه و بررسی نتایج تنبیه بدنی، در صدد است این پرسش را پاسخ گوید که آیا تنبیه بدنی کودک در راستای ادبآموزی و تربیت وی جایز است و آیا دیدگاه فقه امامیه و مقررات قانون مدنی ایران در این خصوص با پیماننامه حقوق کودک سازگاری دارد؟
