Sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism 2013, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- Although CST tends to occur more commonly in developing countries, this phenomenon can occur anywhere in the world and no country or tourism destination is exempt. Between the supply generated by low income countries and the demand from industrialized countries, the choice of the destination depends on languages and connections, but also preferences and tastes. While Western Europeans would tend to travel to Eastern Europe to exploit children, 18 out of 50 (36 per cent) American CST cases between 2003 and 2006 involved crimes committed in Mexico. According to ECPAT, as a result of the closer contact with Western European countries and the increase in tourism, Estonia has had to contend with the major problem of human trafficking to the West and the growing issue of sexual exploitation of children in tourism. Child sex tourists are particularly attracted to places where their activities will go unnoticed and their motives unsuspected, like countries or communities in crisis, and where the risk is small.

Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 41
- Paragraph text
- In the face of poverty, inaccessibility to basic social services and lack of opportunity, families find themselves unable to ensure the development and safety of their children. They adopt survival strategies that may endanger their children. Some parents emigrate in search of a better future, leaving their children behind, while some children emigrate on their own initiative or at their family's urging, and are handed over, for a fee, to exploiting individuals who push them into work. These children are more vulnerable to all forms of exploitation and abuse.

- Increased attention has also been paid to the need for due diligence, a process whereby private companies are called upon to ensure respect for human rights standards and to set up adequate mechanisms to that end. The European Commission has devoted specific attention to the situation of employment and recruitment agencies in that context, issuing a guidebook inviting such agencies to consider the impact of their practices on human rights, including in countries with weak legal and institutional frameworks.

Paragraph
Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- The definition of a child, as it is set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, is not accepted by all. The concept of childhood is often confused with early childhood or even pre-adolescence. In practice, it is the community's attitude towards the physical, psychological and behavioural development of children that determines when a child becomes an adult. Social age is more important than real age: as soon as visible signs of pre-puberty appear, the child is no longer considered a child by society; he or she is expected to act like an adult and, more importantly, society evaluates his or her behaviour on that basis.

They provide extremely useful definitions, thus allowing all stakeholders to share a common understanding and interpretation of the following terms:] The "sale of children" is defined as "any act or transaction whereby a child is transferred by any person or group of persons to another for remuneration or any other consideration". The sale of children can occur for the following purposes: sexual exploitation, forced labour, the transfer of organs and illegal adoption;

Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 24
- Paragraph text
- This includes the "forced or compulsory recruitment of children for use in armed conflict" (pursuant to Convention No. 182 of the International Labour Organization (ILO) on the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour). The Committee on the Rights of the Child has found that the sale of children for use in armed conflict is covered by this provision of the Optional Protocol. The Committee has also found that the sale of children for use in camel racing can be considered to fall under the prohibition of the sale of children for their engagement in forced labour.

In addition, the Optional Protocol provides for the best interests of the child to be a primary consideration in the treatment of victims in the criminal justice system and for the persons who work with victims to receive appropriate training;

Paragraph
Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- In traditionally patriarchal societies, social stratification according to age does not grant children the status of fully fledged persons. Their opinions are neither respected nor taken into account by the family and the community. Children cannot challenge what adults say, or refuse to carry out their orders. The authority of parents and other adults is sovereign and does not recognize a child's right to express himself or herself, since such expression is considered a sign of poor upbringing and a lack of respect. Children are not considered as individuals; family and the community have primacy.

Paragraph
Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 20
- Paragraph text
- States have a tendency not to distinguish between the sale of children and trafficking in children, despite the recommendations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, which clearly stipulate that the two terms should not be used inappropriately. In fact, although trafficking in and sale of children are overlapping concepts, they are not identical, and article 35 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child requires States parties to take measures to prevent trafficking and sale. The Handbook on the Optional Protocol published by the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre provides clarifications in this regard.
