The authoritarian lefties who sit on the United Nations Committee on Human Rights have an odd way of showing love and respect for children.
Under the premise of advancing what the UN panel considers “human rights,” members have recently released a report suggesting that the United Kingdom should pass laws that ban parents and teachers from spanking children, even when used as a form of discipline.
The New American noted that the UN report also recommended that the UK government launch a propaganda campaign funded by taxpayers aimed at ending corporal punishment for children that emphasizes alleged “harmful effects.”
The UK-focused report was not the first time that UN busybodies have criticized spanking and other forms of corporal punishment and called for it to be banned worldwide – to be replaced with UN-favored, UN-approved forms of discipline – and it’s not likely to be the last.
Last year, a similar UN report actually called on the Obama administration to bypass the Constitution’s limits on federal power and implement a nationwide ban of all corporal punishment, including mild spankings by parents in their own home as a form of discipline.
“The State party should take practical steps, including through legislative measures where appropriate, to put an end to corporal punishment in all settings, including the home, throughout United Kingdom and all Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, and repeal all existing legal defenses across the State party’s jurisdiction,” the UN report said. “It should encourage non-violent forms of discipline as alternatives to corporal punishment, and conduct public information campaigns to raise awareness about its harmful effects.”
In other words, they want to launch a massive, taxpayer-funded propaganda campaign to inform UK parents how the UN wants them to raise their own children and then demonize all who disagree with those “recommendations.”

It’s One Minute Until Midnight! YAHUSHUA Comes in the Midnight Hour!
February 2, 1998
Satan is setting it up now by taking the child abuse that is in the minority and saying, “Beware, it will create child abusers if you spank your children.” Read MY Word that cannot lie. Your children are not in rebellion because of discipline, but because of lack of discipline. I created the hindquarters not only for sitting, but also for spanking. The government seeks to raise your children. They are doing it already and you don’t understand what is happening. Even the schools are teaching them to obey their rules, not YAHUVEH’s rules. Respect the government and the laws of this land are plainly heard in America or you will be punished. Yet with the same voice, it is spoken, “Rebel against Holiness.”
PROPHECY 18
Beware The Veil Of Darkness That Has Come From Hell!
March 26, 1998
I prophecy now something so horrible to contemplate but the murders are going to become more prevalent. The parents will fear their children. The children will control their parents as this rebellion has been allowed to grow. The states will say ‘they own your children.’ The states will pass laws to keep your children from getting disciplined by the parents. Parental rights have been stripped away little by little till soon you parents will have no rights. Don’t let this continue! Satan can’t take what you don’t give him. Take back your children in MY Name!
…
They seek to pass laws and it shall come to pass, only if you allow it, that you will be forbidden to spank your children. Most of all, the youth of this nation and world is paying now. They need ME and yet so few parents are teaching them that I am the only way, truth and life. Holiness is necessary and is to be stressed in these end times. Fear this law! Fight this law! For if you think your children are rebellious now you have only had a glimpse of this rebellion.
…
Rebellious children that parents could not control and only led to more rebellion, I had the parents throw the first stone. Now there are laws that protect the child from even getting spanked on a rear quarter I created for such a purpose.
