A/HRC/31/58
(iii) Promoting active membership of INTERPOL and partaking in and
utilizing effectively the Green Notice system, particularly for the identification
of travelling sex offenders;
(c)
Holding military and peacekeeping troops and personnel accountable in
cases of child sexual exploitation by having zero tolerance for such crimes, setting up
prompt and thorough investigations, implementing strong penalties for those guilty of
such crimes, taking measures such as suspension, repatriation and termination of the
deployment and ensuring the follow-up to those procedures. Care, recovery and
reintegration measures should also be provided to child victims as part of their right
to a remedy.

Corporate social responsibility
84.
The Special Rapporteur highlights the importance of enhancing corporate
social responsibility, particularly with regard to the servicing of demand. Existing
guidelines, such as the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the Global
Code of Ethics for Tourism and the Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children
from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism, should be universally followed by
members of the private sector and mainstreamed in all their activities and across the
supply chain. Compliance with those guidelines should be enforced and monitored.
85.
There is a need for State intervention when the private sector does not take
sufficient measures to ensure that it does not become or remain a facilitator in the
demand for the sexual exploitation of children. Measures such as conducting
background checks, particularly for employment that involves coming into contact
with children, such as childcare workers, should become a mandatory practice.
