Parents and teachers who use physical violence against children for disciplinary purposes will be fined up to 200 manats, APA reports.
This is reflected in the new Article 525-1 added to the Code of Administrative Offenses under the decree signed by Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on its implementation.
According to the law, parents (or persons replacing them), as well as employees of educational, medical, social service, sports, cultural, recreational, and penitentiary institutions responsible for supervising children, will be fined 200 manats for applying corporal punishment to a child, namely committing physical and/or psychological violence against a child for educational purposes or as a disciplinary measure.
This will apply if the act does not entail criminal liability under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code.
