Vulnerabilities of children to sale, trafficking and other forms of exploitation in situations of conflict and humanitarian crisis 2017, para. 74
- Paragraph text
- Conflict and natural and humanitarian disasters expose children, and more particularly those unaccompanied or separated from their families, to multifaceted vulnerabilities and put them at a higher risk of being trafficked, sold and sexually exploited, coerced into child or forced marriages, and used in the worst forms of child labour. While girls are more likely to fall victims to sexual exploitation, there are nonetheless also cases of boys being abused.

Paragraph
Vulnerabilities of children to sale, trafficking and other forms of exploitation in situations of conflict and humanitarian crisis 2017, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- The United Nations should ensure that the sale of and trafficking in children are linked to the six grave violations and abuses against children. When linked to trafficking, such violations are particularly egregious and should be given special consideration as grounds on which to bar countries repeatedly listed as being involved in those violations in the annual reports of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict from contributing troops to United Nations operations. In addition, when such violations constitute international crimes, the international community should ensure that perpetrators are held accountable by, inter alia, referring cases to the International Criminal Court, as a means to combat impunity and ensure that such heinous crimes do not go unpunished.

Care, recovery and reintegration measures should also be provided to child victims as part of their right to a remedy.

When the child’s best interests require keeping the family together, the imperative requirement not to deprive the child of liberty should extend to the child’s parents and requires that the authorities choose alternatives to detention for the entire family;

Paragraph
Vulnerabilities of children to sale, trafficking and other forms of exploitation in situations of conflict and humanitarian crisis 2017, para. 75
- Paragraph text
- Existing prevention mechanisms and responses to various forms of exploitation of children in the context of conflict and humanitarian crisis are largely ineffective and lead to precariousness. Indeed, the accurate identification of children who are victims of sale, trafficking and other forms of exploitation is hindered by the inadequate training, or lack thereof, of frontline workers, challenges in age and filiation determination, and a lack of communication and coordination among various actors. In spite of some promising practices, the interim care of and durable solutions for vulnerable children on the move often do not consider the specific needs of children, especially those separated or unaccompanied who live in mixed spaces with adult migrants or refugees in areas or camps that lack basic amenities. The existence of numerous cases of sexual exploitation of children is an additional indication of the failure of a protection system meant to safeguard them.

Harmful practices (joint General Recommendation with CRC) 2014, para. 87d
- Paragraph text
- [The Committees recommend that the States parties to the Conventions:] Ensure that children participating in legal processes have access to appropriate child-sensitive services to safeguard their rights and safety and to limit the possible negative impacts of the proceedings. Protective action may include limiting the number of times that a victim is required to give a statement and not requiring that individual to face the perpetrator or perpetrators. Other steps may include appointing a guardian ad litem (especially where the perpetrator is a parent or legal guardian) and ensuring that child victims have access to adequate child-sensitive information about the process and fully understand what to expect;
