CRC/C/GEO/CO/4 (b) Ensure that a child born through surrogacy motherhood will be able to get access to the information about his or her origin; (c) Amend the law on the legal status of aliens and stateless persons to fully comply with the provisions of the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons; (d) Establish an effective and efficient identification and referral mechanism for children who are undocumented and at risk of statelessness; (e) Accede to the 1997 European Convention on Nationality and the 2006 Council of Europe Convention on the avoidance of statelessness in relation to State succession. D. Violence against children (arts. 19, 24 (3), 28 (2), 34, 37 (a) and 39) Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment 20. The Committee is concerned at reports of the arbitrary detention of children and of the torture and ill-treatment of children in police stations, including children diverted from the criminal system, and, in rare cases, juvenile detention centres. The Committee recalls its previous concluding observations (see CRC/C/GEO/CO/3, para. 30) and recommends that the State party: (a) Investigate thoroughly all allegations of torture and ill-treatment by public officials, especially the police, and ensure that the perpetrators are rapidly tried and brought to justice; (b) Provide adequate reparations, rehabilitation and recovery programmes for child victims of such abuses; (c) Strengthen independent monitoring by and coordination between civil society, the Public Defender and the human rights monitoring unit and reinforce their actions in detention centres for juveniles; (d) Ensure the accessibility of the existing mechanisms for receiving complaints of ill-treatment or abuse from or on behalf of children. Corporal punishment and child abuse 21. While welcoming the efforts made by the State party to combat domestic violence, including amendments to the law on combating domestic violence and the new child protection referral mechanism adopted in 2016, the programme on the identification and prevention of violent and behavioural disorder, piloted from 2016 onwards, and the standing programme on violence against children and the redirection procedures in case of the need for child protection, implemented since 2015, the Committee is strongly concerned by: (a) The prevalence of corporal punishment in the home as well as schools and institutions; (b) The lack of legislation criminalizing corporal punishment and of awarenessraising activities to combat that practice; (c) The limited implementation of the child protection referral mechanism with regard to kindergartens and professionals working with families and children, as well as in the school environment; (d) The predominant role of the police in the implementation of the child referral mechanism; (e) The limited counselling services provided in schools for children and parents on the prevention of violence; (f) The existence of psychological service centres in seven cities only and limited coverage of schools by mandaturi (school resource officers); 6
