A/HRC/7/8
page 23
(b) To establish specific protocols and work plans which set up standards of the
programmes and activities for the assistance and rehabilitation of children victims of
sexual commercial exploitation and/or trafficking;
(b) To set up funds for recognized and established NGOs and other civil society
actors as implementing agencies and partners to implement their activities, programmes
and facilities for children who are victims of sexual commercial exploitation and
trafficking;
(c) To include in the rehabilitation programmes a minimum of three years of
follow-up and monitoring of the assistance and treatment provided to the minors who are
victims for a full recovery, as experience shows these victims have suffered considerably
and need long-term therapies.
77. Taking into account that the examples of best practices are as of today still
insufficient, the Special Rapporteur calls upon the academic community, NGOs and civil
society and the specialized agencies of the United Nations system to elaborate norms and
standards to serve as models to be used when establishing rehabilitation and assistance
programmes for children and minors victims of sexual commercial exploitation and
trafficking.
78. The Special Rapporteur stresses finally that educational programmes as well as
awareness-raising activities are essential in the fight against commercial sexual exploitation
and trafficking of children. He therefore calls upon States:
(a) To develop awareness-raising campaigns among teachers, school officials, the
tourism industry and law-enforcement officials on the issues of commercial sexual
exploitation and trafficking of children;
(b) To raise awareness among law-enforcement officials on the need to work
together and cooperate fully and totally when investigating cases of children who are
victims of commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking;
(c) To ensure that the school curriculum includes child rights education that
addresses theses issues and provide resources available to help should children be
confronted with such situations. Education on programmes and resources available is an
essential tool to prevent children from becoming victims of such crimes and should be made
available at all school levels.
