IIRC, the exact text of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) disallows 'violence' upon a child. The argument is that spanking, or other limited means of tempered corporal punishment is not 'violence' per se. While a drunken beating and kicking would probably amount to violence, I doubt a spanking counts.
I think spanking has its place. I've subject to some pretty jacked up things, but, it is not wrong to teach a child that if/when you fuck up, it might hurt.
I certainly don't want some self-righteous enlightened asshole from the UN telling me how I should and shouldn't raise my child, though.
