A/HRC/2/SR.12 situations. Structural adjustment policies and debt relief-related strategies should take account of country situations, governance and domestic policies in line with the MDGs. 46. Mr. Larensa Serrano (Ecuador), referring to the report by the Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, said that the international community must devote priority attention to the protection of children, including in international law. It was alarming that only 4 out of 25 Governments of States which had received a total of 34 communications from the Special Rapporteur concerning the sale, trafficking or sexual exploitation of children had responded. Effective and immediate action should be taken to ensure that Governments responded in accordance with their obligations. 47. Ms. Sosa Nishizaki (Observer for Mexico) welcomed the focus by the Special Rapporteur on the demand factor in the fight against child sexual exploitation. She endorsed the recommendations contained in paragraph 131 (b) and (e) of his report, especially the proposal to set up a mandatory educational and training programme for military and United Nations personnel on human trafficking, gender equality, the effects of buying women and children for sex, and identifying and assisting trafficking victims. 48. Turning to the report by the Independent Expert, she expressed support for his recommendation in paragraph 37 (c) that the Council urge States to cooperate with him in the discharge of his mandate and, in particular, to respond to his requests for their views and suggestions on possible elements for consideration in the draft general guidelines. 49. Ms. Schenk (World Organization against Torture), also speaking on behalf of the International Save the Children Alliance, the International Alliance of Women, Plan International, the World Movement of Mothers, Defence for Children International, the Women’s World Summit Foundation, the International Federation of Social Workers, World Vision International, ECPAT International, the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organizations and the Child Rights Information Network, said that while child rights should be mainstreamed into the human rights system as a whole, the Council should adopt a specific child rights focus in recognition of children’s specific needs and concerns. The Council should highlight the Convention on the Rights of the Child in its work and assert its commitment to child rights by including a separate relevant item in the agendas for future sessions. 50. The Council should take action on violence against children; the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography; children affected by armed conflict and displacement; and children in conflict with the law. It should ensure the meaningful and substantive participation of NGOs and independent human rights institutions focusing on children’s rights in their work, including under the universal periodic review. Specific facilities should be created to allow children themselves to participate in the work of the Council. Special procedures must be maintained and strengthened and include the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols in their mandate. 51. Mr. Pary (Indian Movement “Tupaj Amaru”), referring to the report of the Independent Expert, said that 30 years after the establishment of a new global economic order, speaking about the fundamental right to food, clothing and decent housing meant speaking about extreme poverty, increasingly unsustainable foreign debt, bankruptcy leading to social crises and the corruption of modern society. Those phenomena constituted fertile ground for ethnic conflict, racial discrimination, hatred, violence and terrorism. Ever since their inception, the World Bank and IMF, which had been originally created to promote economic development and prosperity for all, had continually imposed an ultraliberal development model on countries and peoples, the perverse effects of which were tearing the world apart. Using and abusing its binding recommendations, IMF had advocated market-economy-based global trade, devaluation, price deregulation, salary GE.09-17372 9
