A/HRC/8/30 Page 6 13. With regard to the question of violence against children, Polish authorities undertake a number of long-term measures. In 2006, a nationwide social campaign under the name of “Childhood under Protection” was also launched to sensitize the public. As far as corporal punishment is concerned, the Polish legal system penalizes every form of physical or psychological violence against children, including violence inflicted by parents and legal guardians. Acts of such nature are prosecuted ex officio, as the police gathers information, assuming that an offence has been committed. No complaint by the victim is needed. The Family Code article 95.2, provides for the institution of “reprimanding a minor” as a form of carrying out a parental authority. The provision however, cannot be considered as an endorsement of corporal punishment, since the provision has to be construed jointly with the definition of parental authority specified in the Code as actions exclusively for the good of the child. The acts of reprimanding a minor may only be inflicted in cases where the lack of such actions might endanger the health or security of a child and the situation requires an urgent response. 14. On the question of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, Poland is a party of a number of conventions which cover the issue of enforced disappearances. The Polish law provides adequate punishments for the crimes defined in this Convention and guarantees proper standards in preventing such crimes. Poland is ready to consider establishing the relevant procedure, with a view to signing the Convention, although there is no actual need for it in Poland. B. Interactive dialogue and responses by the State under review 15. During the ensuing interactive dialogue, 26 delegations made statements praising Poland for both the quality of its presentation and the national report. 16. Angola noted with interest the efforts made by Poland to promote human rights in all areas of Polish society. It also noted that the Polish national report addressed the issue of racial discrimination and appreciated the efforts made in this area, notably by creating a monitoring mechanism aimed at ensuring respect of equality of treatment for all ethnic groups. In that respect, Angola asked what further measures Poland could take to reinforce its fight against discrimination. Referring to the protection of children, Angola requested further information on legislative and administrative measures taken to tackle violence against children. Angola expressed the opinion that Poland should endorse the recommendations made by the Committee on the Rights of the Child and the Human Rights Committee on the adoption of legislative measures to ensure compliance of national legislation with the principles and provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 17. Ukraine commended on the broad cooperation between Poland and NGOs in the field of human rights. It welcomed the activities undertaken aimed at nurturing in Polish society a broadly perceived culture of tolerance, enhancing public awareness concerning the need to counter discrimination for racial, national or ethnic reason, and changing public attitude towards violence. Ukraine emphasized the importance of such an approach as a prerequisite for the elimination and prevention of these negative phenomena. Ukraine emphasized that the establishment of the posts of human rights advisers in the police force is a remarkable achievement of Poland. With regard to this innovation, Ukraine asked Poland to elaborate further on the efficiency of this mechanism and its impact on the protection of human rights in the context of police activity. 18. Turkey acknowledged the considerable efforts exerted by the Polish authorities against racism, xenophobia, racial discrimination and intolerance. It noted the introduction of a national programme and the establishment of the Monitoring Team within the Ministry of Interior and Administration as well as training activities for government officials to counter discrimination. Turkey also noted the implementation of the long-term Government “programme for the Roma
