Casgliadau i gloi ICCPR 2024, paragraff 55
Argymhelliad Cymreig clir
Dylai’r Llywodraeth:
(a) Gwahardd cosbi plant yn gorfforol. Dileu amddiffyniad cyfraith gwlad o ‘gosb resymol’ a chryfhau’r gwaith o hyrwyddo disgyblaeth ddi-drais;
(b) Codi’r isafswm oedran ar gyfer cyfrifoldeb troseddol. Dylai’r newid hwn ddilyn safonau rhyngwladol a dylai fod ar waith ym mhobman, gan gynnwys dibyniaethau’r Goron y DU a thiriogaethau tramor;
(c) Ystyried godi’r isafswm oedran ar gyfer ymuno â’r lluoedd arfog i 18, a rhoi’r gorau i unrhyw hysbysebu neu farchnata gwasanaeth milwrol sydd wedi’i anelu at blant.
Original UN recommendation
The State party should:
(a) Enact legislation that explicitly and clearly prohibits corporal punishment of children in all settings, removing the common law defence of “reasonable chastisement”, throughout the United Kingdom, the Crown dependencies and overseas territories, and strengthen its efforts to encourage non-violent forms of discipline as alternatives to corporal punishment;
(b) Raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility, in accordance with internationally accepted standards, throughout the United Kingdom, the Crown dependencies and overseas territories, particularly in the above-mentioned areas;
(c) Consider raising the minimum age of voluntary recruitment into the armed forces to 18 years and prohibit all forms of advertising and marketing of military service targeted at children.
