organized labor market. Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Rights of
the Child (CRC) [DOC] UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 29 September
2006 [accessed 15 December 2010] [65] While noting that the domestic legislation prohibits
forced child prostitution, manufacturing, acquiring or distribution of
pornographic materials, bondage and slave trade, the Committee is concerned
about the potential of the State party to be or become a destination country
of trafficking in children owing to the large number of migrants in search of
employment. It notes with concern the lack of data and the lack of research
on the prevalence of national and cross-border trafficking, child
prostitution and child pornography. Concern is also expressed about the lack
of a comprehensive procedure to identify children who may be victims of
trafficking and the absence of adequate recovery and reintegration services
for these victims. Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Rights of
the Child (CRC) [DOC] UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 12 October 2001 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/oman2001.html [accessed 5 March 2011] [55] The Committee encourages the

of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child
pornography, and on the involvement of children in armed conflict. Five Years After ECPAT: Fifth Report on

common, however, a number of constraints that have hindered preparation of
national plans of action. In all the countries of the region, there is
cultural resistance to addressing the problem because the subject is largely
taboo. Often the issue is dealt with
more generally under headings such as ‘violence’ and ‘trauma’. This means that there has been no regional consensus
on defining CSEC in law; in some countries, for example, it is looked upon as
an indecent act, in others as rape, although in all 20 countries there is
some section of the penal code that can be invoked against sexual abuse and
exploitation. All material used herein
