For a thorough discussion of the applicability of human rights law to 
corporal punishment of children everyone should read "Spare the Rod, 
Embrace Our Humanity: Toward a New Legal Regime Prohibiting Corporal 
Punishment of Children" by Professor Susan Bitensky, University of 
Michigan Journal of Law Reform, Vol 31, No.2, 1998 (pp. 353-474). It 
is available by calling the journal at 734 763-6100.  We brought 
Professor Bitensky to campus (Old Dominion University) and had a 
packed houses to hear her presentation and participate in a 
discussion of the educational value and practice of a human rights 
perspective on children.
