  • The Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is a body of independent experts that monitors implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child by governments that ratify the Convention. The Committee also monitors implementation of the optional protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict and optional protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. The CRC is one of the eight UN-linked human rights treaty bodies. Governments that have ratified the Convention are required to submit regular, detailed reports on the national situation of children's rights to the Committee for examination. The Committee examines each report and raises concerns or makes recommendations to the State party. The Committee cannot consider individual complaints, although child rights may be raised before other committees with competence to consider individual complaints. However, at least the case of Gendhun Choekyi Nyima, 11th Panchen Lama, was considered by the Committee May 28 1996, as well as at other later dates. The Committee is made up of 18 members from different countries and legal systems who are of 'high moral standing' and experts in the field of human rights. Although members are nominated and appointed by governments, Committee members act in a personal capacity. They do not represent their countries' governments or any other organization to which they might belong. Members are appointed to a four-year term and can be re-appointed if nominated. They are sometimes described as having been "elected" to the committee, but no democratic electoral process is involved, and they do not in any way carry a mandate from the people of their respective countries. The current members of the Committee (as of March 2007) are: File:Flag of Ghana. svg Agnes Akosua Aidoo (Term ends 2011) File:Flag of Qatar. svg Ghalia Mohd. Bin Hamad Al-Thani (2009) File:Flag of Kenya. svg Joyce Aluoch (2009) File:Flag of Italy. svg Luigi Citarella (2011) File:Flag of Algeria. svg Kamel Filali (2011) File:Flag of Hungary. svg Maria Herczog, (2011) File:Flag of Egypt. svg Moushira Khattab (2011) File:Flag of Tunisia. svg Hatem Kotrane (2011) File:Flag of Germany. svg Lothar Friedrich Krappmann (2011) File:Flag of South Korea. svg Yanghee Lee (2009) File:Flag of Paraguay. svg Rosa María Ortiz, (2011) File:Flag of Canada. svg David Brent Parfitt (2009) File:Flag of Uganda. svg Awich Pollar (2009) File:Flag of Lithuania. svg Dainius Puras (2011) File:Flag of Bangladesh. svg Kamal Siddiqui (2009) File:Flag of Norway. svg Lucy Smith (2009) File:Flag of Serbia. svg Nevena Vuckovic-Sahovic (2009) File:Flag of Switzerland. svg Jean Zermatten (2009) The unelected Committee regularly instructs the democratically elected governments of UN member countries to prohibit by law all corporal punishment of children, even including mild spanking by their own parents. The text of the Convention does not at any point refer to corporal punishment, spanking, slapping, caning, strapping or smacking. Although half its members are not lawyers, and only three of the present members appear to have any experience as jurists, the Committee of its own volition decided some time after the Convention had been signed by member states and come into force in 1990, and without any public consultation or democratic input, to interpret the text as meaning that parental spanking should be made a criminal offence. It is not stated on the UN website whether or not this interpretation has anywhere been tested in an actual court of law, either at an international level or in any country governed by the rule of law.
