TIG Blog: Omar Khadr - Children's Rights Vs. The Rod
What does civilization mean to non-Western developing countries and cultures? TIG member Javie from Uganda posed an interesting dilemma in his latest blog on children's rights based upon the Euro-centric model of civilization versus traditional methods used in the Baganda culture to discipline children. Should we preserve the culture and violate childrens' rights? Is there an alternative to the rod? Share what you think!
