Tackling the demand for the sexual exploitation of children 2016, para. 80
- Paragraph text
- In 2016, it will be 20 years since the first World Congress against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children was held in Stockholm. Substantial commitments were made by several stakeholders in the declarations at the end of that Congress and the following two, which were held in Yokohama, Japan, in 2001 and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2008. The Special Rapporteur hopes that the anniversary will be an opportunity to look back at the progress that has been achieved and focus specifically on the pledges that were made in respect to demand in the Rio de Janeiro Declaration and Call for Action to Prevent and Stop Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents.

Solitary confinement 2011, para. 86

- States should abolish the use of solitary confinement for juveniles and persons with mental disabilities. Regarding disciplinary measures for juveniles, the Special Rapporteur recommends that States should take other measures that do not involve the use of solitary confinement.

Paragraph
Solitary confinement 2011, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- Considering the severe mental pain or suffering solitary confinement may cause when used as a punishment, during pretrial detention, indefinitely or for a prolonged period, for juveniles or persons with mental disabilities, it can amount to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The Special Rapporteur is of the view that where the physical conditions and the prison regime of solitary confinement fail to respect the inherent dignity of the human person and cause severe mental and physical pain or suffering, it amounts to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
