Proposition de loi modifiant l'ancien Code civil afin d'ancrer le droit de l'enfant à une éducation sans violence et d'interdire toute forme de violence à l'égard des enfants.
This is a Belgian parliamentary bill, submitted to the Chamber of Representatives, that would amend the former Civil Code to establish in law a child's right to be raised without violence. It would also prohibit all forms of violence against children, including in family settings. The bill falls under civil law, which governs relationships between private individuals such as parents and children. The proposal would primarily affect parents and guardians, as well as children across Belgium, by setting out a clear legal standard on discipline. Courts and child protection services would also be affected by any resulting clarification of parental obligations. Details of the specific measures and penalties are not captured in this metadata-based summary.
