Study on illegal adoptions 2017, para. 88 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Demands for truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence from victims of past large-scale or systematic cases of illegal adoptions continue to be ignored and inadequately addressed by States. Public instances of recognition of past wrongdoing are rare, depend on the willingness of those responsible and do not entail concrete action.

Consequently, in many cases, victims' demands for acknowledgement, apology and redress are yet to be met. | Special Rapporteur on the sale and sexual exploitation of children, including child prostitution, child pornography and other child sexual abuse material | Special Procedures' report |

Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 26a | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | [The analysis conducted for the present report highlighted important lessons which should inform work in this area:] Counselling is more effective when it is part of a broader approach that includes medical care, social assistance, legal services and financial or educational support.
