CRC/C/MKD/CO/2 well as medical history, and ensure that children are informed about the fact of their adoption and have access to such information at the appropriate age and level of development. Access to appropriate information 36. The Committee notes the mandate of the Broadcasting Council to protect children from audio-visual content that is potentially damaging to their physical, psychological and moral development, and that it has undertaken several measures in this regard. The Committee, however, remains concerned about children’s access to appropriate information in the different languages and about the presence of pornographic and other inappropriate content in the audio-visual and print media. 37. The Committee recommends that the State party continue and strengthen measures to continue and raise efforts to ensure that children have access to appropriate information and material and protect children from information and material injurious to their well-being, in particular by enforcing existing legislation and guidelines and systematically monitoring content in the audio-visual and print media, with a view to removing pornographic and other injurious material. Torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment 38. While welcoming the strengthening of anti-torture provisions through amendments of the Criminal Code and the amending of the Law on the Ombudsman in 2009 to bring the institution into line with the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture, the Committee is deeply concerned about allegations of solitary confinement, corporal punishment and use of batons in the Educational-Correctional Institution. 39. The Committee recommends that the State party take immediate measures to remove batons and to abolish the use of corporal punishment in the EducationalCorrectional Institution. In line with article 37 (c), the State party should review or limit as far as possible the use of solitary confinement in the institution. Corporal punishment 40. While noting the prohibition of corporal punishment in schools and the penal system, the Committee is concerned that applicable law is not interpreted as prohibiting corporal punishment in the home and is further concerned about the high prevalence of physical punishment and aggression in the family. 41. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Prohibit corporal punishment in the home as a matter of urgency; (b) Undertake a review of current legislation with a view to identifying protection gaps and ending the use of corporal punishment in all areas, including in schools, in the home, in the penal system, and in alternative care settings; (c) Take due account of the Committee’s general comment No. 8 (2006) on the right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment (CRC/C/GC/8). Follow-up to the United Nations study on violence against children 42. The Committee encourages the State party to prioritize elimination of all forms of violence against children. With reference to the United Nations study on violence against children (A/61/299), the Committee recommends that the State party: 8
