L\u2019effort vers une r\u00e9forme l\u00e9gislative visant \u00e0 interdire tous les ch\u00e2timents corporels inflig\u00e9s aux enfants se poursuit en France. Une premi\u00e8re proposition de loi a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9e en novembre 2018<\/a><\/span> par la chambre basse du Parlement, l'Assembl\u00e9e nationale, et doit maintenant \u00eatre d\u00e9battue au S\u00e9nat. Cependant, jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent, elle n'a pas encore \u00e9t\u00e9 mise \u00e0 l'ordre du jour du S\u00e9nat.<\/span><\/p>

Une deuxi\u00e8me proposition de loi distincte visant \u00e0 interdire les ch\u00e2timents corporels inflig\u00e9s aux enfants a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e \u00e0 la chambre haute \u2013 le S\u00e9nat \u2013 en janvier 2019. Dans sa r\u00e9daction originale, la proposition de loi pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au S\u00e9nat modifiait l'article 371-1.2 du Code civil (ajout soulign\u00e9) :<\/span><\/p>

\u00ab\u00a0[L\u2019autorit\u00e9 parentale] appartient aux parents jusqu'\u00e0 la majorit\u00e9 ou l'\u00e9mancipation de l'enfant pour le prot\u00e9ger dans sa s\u00e9curit\u00e9, sa sant\u00e9 et sa moralit\u00e9, pour assurer son \u00e9ducation et permettre son d\u00e9veloppement, dans le respect d\u00fb \u00e0 sa personne et \u00e0 l\u2019exclusion de tout traitement cruel, d\u00e9gradant ou humiliant, y compris tout recours aux punitions et ch\u00e2timents corporels.<\/u>\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/span><\/p>

Apr\u00e8s son examen en commission le 20 f\u00e9vrier 2019, la proposition de loi a \u00e9t\u00e9 modifi\u00e9e pour supprimer le terme \u00ab punitions et ch\u00e2timents corporels \u00bb du texte. Elle ins\u00e8re maintenant un nouvel alin\u00e9a dans l'article 371-1 du Code civil, qui reprend le texte de la proposition de loi adopt\u00e9e \u00e0 l'Assembl\u00e9e nationale en novembre 2018 :<\/span><\/p>

\u00ab L\u2019autorit\u00e9 parentale s\u2019exerce sans violences physiques ou psychologiques. \u00bb<\/em><\/span><\/p>

La proposition de loi telle qu'amend\u00e9e par la commission va maintenant faire l'objet d'un d\u00e9bat et d'un vote au S\u00e9nat le 6 mars 2019.<\/span><\/p>

En amont de ce d\u00e9bat, des amendements ont \u00e9t\u00e9 introduits qui, s'ils \u00e9taient adopt\u00e9s le 6 mars, rendraient la proposition de loi pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au S\u00e9nat identique \u00e0 celle adopt\u00e9e par l'Assembl\u00e9e nationale en novembre 2018. Nous croyons comprendre qu'un texte adopt\u00e9 dans des termes exactement identiques par les deux chambres, m\u00eame si dans le contexte de deux propositions de loi s\u00e9par\u00e9es, arriverait ainsi au terme du processus l\u00e9gislatif et serait transmis au Pr\u00e9sident de la R\u00e9publique pour ratification, sans autre possibilit\u00e9 d'amendement ou de discussion.<\/span><\/p>

La Global Initiative r\u00e9it\u00e8re que, puisque la proposition de loi semble avoir pour objectif d\u2019interdire tous les ch\u00e2timents corporels inflig\u00e9s aux enfants, la loi devrait refl\u00e9ter ceci de mani\u00e8re claire et explicite<\/a><\/span>, comme l\u2019exige la Convention internationale des droits de l\u2019enfant. La d\u00e9cision de supprimer la r\u00e9f\u00e9rence explicite aux ch\u00e2timents corporels pourrait \u00eatre interpr\u00e9t\u00e9e comme diluant la loi.<\/span><\/p>

Si la proposition de loi adopt\u00e9e par le S\u00e9nat le 6 mars est identique \u00e0 celle adopt\u00e9e par l\u2019Assembl\u00e9e nationale, sans r\u00e9f\u00e9rence explicite aux ch\u00e2timents corporels, le gouvernement devra alors pr\u00e9ciser clairement, par tous moyens y compris par des textes r\u00e9glementaires, des campagnes de sensibilisation ou autres communications, que l'esprit et le but de la loi est de prot\u00e9ger les enfants de toutes les formes de ch\u00e2timents corporels, tels que d\u00e9finis par la Convention internationale des droits de l\u2019enfant. Le gouvernement devra en outre prioriser la prise de mesures mettant en \u0153uvre la loi dans cette optique.<\/span><\/p>

France: a new Bill debated in the Senate<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

The push for legal reform to prohibit all corporal punishment of children continues in France. A first Bill was adopted in November 2018<\/a><\/span> [link in French] by the lower house of Parliament \u2013 the National Assembly \u2013 and is due to be debated in the Senate. It has however so far failed to be put on the Senate agenda.<\/span><\/p>

A second and separate Bill to prohibit corporal punishment of children was introduced in the upper house \u2013 the French Senate \u2013 in January 2019. In its original wording, the Senate Bill amended article 371-1(2) of the Civil Code to state (unofficial translation, addition underlined):<\/span><\/p>

\u201c[Parental authority] is vested in the parents until the majority or emancipation of the child in order to protect him\/her in his\/her security, health and morality, to ensure his\/her education and allow his\/her development, with all due respect owed to his\/her person<\/em> and excluding any cruel, degrading or humiliating treatment, including any use of corporal punishment or chastisement<\/u><\/em>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>

After examination in Committee on 20 February 2019, the Bill was amended to remove the term \u2018corporal punishment or chastisement\u2019 from the text. It now inserts a new paragraph to article 371-1 of the Civil Code which mirrors the text of the Bill adopted in the National Assembly in November 2018 (unofficial translation):<\/span><\/p>

\u201cParental authority is exercised without any physical or psychological violence.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>

The Bill as amended by the Committee is due to be debated and voted on in the Senate on 6 March 2019.<\/span><\/p>

Amendments have been introduced ahead of this debate which, if they are adopted on 6 March, would make the Senate Bill fully identical to the Bill adopted by the National Assembly in November 2018. Our understanding is that a text adopted in the exact same terms by both chambers, even if two different Bills to begin with, would thus reach the end of the legislative process and be transmitted to the President for ratification without further opportunities for amendments or discussions.<\/span><\/p>

The Global Initiative reiterates that, as the intent of the Bill seems to be to prohibit all corporal punishment of children, the law should clearly and explicitly reflect this<\/a><\/span>, as required under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The decision to remove the explicit reference to corporal punishment could be seen to dilute the law.<\/span><\/p>

If the Bill adopted on 6 March by the Senate is identical to the Bill adopted by the National Assembly in 2018, without an explicit reference to corporal punishment, the Government must then make absolutely clear, through any means including regulatory texts, awareness-raising campaigns or other communications, that the spirit and intent of the law is to protect children from all forms of corporal punishment as defined by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and must additionally take measures to implement the law as such as a matter of priority.<\/span><\/p>
