CRC/C/15/Add.99 page 5 16. While the Committee notes that the principle of non-discrimination (art. 2) is reflected in the Constitution and in other domestic legislation, it is still concerned that measures adopted to ensure that all children are guaranteed access to education and health services and are protected against all forms of exploitation are insufficient. Of particular concern are certain vulnerable groups of children, including children with disabilities; children belonging to minority and indigenous groups, such as Maya and Garifuna children; children living in remote rural areas; children living in poverty; children living and/or working on the street; refugee and asylum-seeking children; illegal immigrant children; children in the juvenile justice system; children of single-parent families; children born out of wedlock and institutionalized children. The Committee recommends that the State party increase its efforts to ensure implementation of the principle of non-discrimination and full compliance with article 2 of the Convention, particularly as it relates to the vulnerable groups. 17. While the Committee notes the efforts made by the State party to encourage the participatory rights of children, especially in schools, it is concerned that traditional practices, culture and attitudes still limit the full implementation of article 12 of the Convention. The Committee recommends that the State party seek to develop a systematic approach to increasing public awareness of the participatory rights of children and encourage respect for the views of the child within the family and the care and judicial systems. 18. The Committee notes that the State party has enacted domestic legislation to guarantee registration at birth (the Registration of Births and Deaths Act), but is concerned that this legislation is not fully consistent with the principles and provisions guaranteed under the Convention. The Committee is also concerned that many children are still not registered, particularly immigrant children and those living in remote rural communities. The lack of awareness about registration procedures is also a matter of concern for the Committee. In the light of articles 7 and 8 of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party undertake legislative reform with a view to ensuring that fathers are also made responsible for the registration of their children and that children born out of wedlock are guaranteed their right to preservation of identity, name and family relations. The Committee also recommends that all necessary measures be taken to ensure that birth registration is made accessible to all children within the State party. In this regard, the Committee suggests that the State party seek to implement, at the earliest opportunity, its proposal to introduce a mobile birth registration programme, as well as additional district facilities to reach those families in remote rural communities. The Committee also recommends that the State party increase its efforts to raise awareness among government officers, community leaders and parents to ensure that all children are registered at birth. The Committee encourages the State party to adopt measures to regularize the situation of immigrant children and provide them with documentation to guarantee their rights and facilitate their access to basic health, education and other services. 19. The Committee expresses grave concern that corporal punishment is still widely practised within the State party and that domestic legislation does not prohibit its use within schools, the family, the juvenile justice and
