A/HRC/28/56 victims of prostitution within tourist areas. Netclean has also developed sophisticated forensic tools for police to identify abusive behaviour and those who perpetrate them. 81. Initiatives aimed at enhancing engagement with industry in its wider form, including not only Internet service providers and Internet content providers, but also application developers, should be encouraged. As mobile devices become increasingly popular the development of applications offer real opportunities but also threats. Applications can be used to facilitate the reporting of abuse, the understanding of exploitation and awarenessraising. However, applications can also pose harms and allow, for example, the swapping of illegal contacts and content. Initiatives must be put in place to involve not only Internet providers, but most importantly, application developers and hosts, to ensure that they do not produce or distribute applications that facilitate the exploitation of children. V. Conclusions and recommendations A. Conclusions 82. In the present report, the new Special Rapporteur has endeavoured to provide an outline of the strategic directions for her three-year tenure. She will ensure the continuity of the work of her predecessors, and will explore new directions. She will continue to adopt a consultative, participatory, child-centred and holistic approach in the implementation of her mandate, and will strive to ensure coordination and complementarity with relevant special procedures mandates and United Nations mechanisms and bodies. 83. While 2015 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of the mandate, its continuous renewal underscores the need for the international community to step up efforts to combat the increasing phenomena of sexual abuse and exploitation of children. Stronger support to the mandate will be essential to ensure appropriate follow-up and effective implementation of the mandate in the coming years. 84. Children are among those who are most familiar with information and communication technologies. While new technologies offer a myriad of opportunities for children, they also present new risks and threats. Criminal behaviour facilitated by new technologies includes online child abuse material and online sexual exploitation of children. Moreover, information and communication technologies facilitate new forms of criminal behaviour, such as the live streaming of child abuse and the online solicitation of children. B. Recommendations 85. Whilst recognizing that considerable progress has been made in recent years, the Special Rapporteur advocates a holistic approach towards combating effectively the sale and sexual exploitation of children facilitated through new technologies. That involves promoting the design and implementation of comprehensive child protection strategies which encompass adequate legislation, detection and reporting, prosecution of offenders, rehabilitation and reintegration of victims, prevention and protection programmes with the participation of children, active involvement of the business sector and effective international cooperation. 86. 20 To that end, the Special Rapporteur recommends the actions listed below.
