Communications and inquiry procedures \u2013 international mechanisms which can be used to make complaints about human rights violations \u2013 are a key avenue through which individuals and groups can enforce their rights. They present an exciting opportunity to advance children\u2019s rights, including their right to protection in law and practice from corporal punishment. Since children are unlikely to be able to access and use these procedures independently, it is important that organisations working for children\u2019s rights take the initiative in using them with children and on their behalf. This guide gives details of the procedures which could be used to challenge corporal punishment of children and suggests starting points for using them.<\/span><\/p>
