The eradication of child prostitution.

Welcoming the work done by Non-Governmental organisations and UN agencies such as the NGO coalition ECPAT, UNICEF and the World Congress against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) to raise public awareness and help with reintegration work in some of the world’s poorest countries.

Also Welcoming the efforts of UN agencies and NGOs which are actively involved in encouraging and contributing to the training of legal professionals, police enforcement agencies and others in the areas where the commercial sexual exploitation of children is involve, for example, in cross boarder operations.

Having considered the above points, Romania/Jordan believes that the way to tackle this problem, which stems from the grass roots of civilisation, is by a combination of positive action and the sowing of seeds for future generations.

Reaffirms that child prostitution is an international problem. Due to the cross border trafficking of child prostitutes we need complete international co-operation to solve it.

Noting that it is not in the national interests of any country to have their docks, markets and airports used for transporting child prostitutes.

Believes that education is the key to a long-term solution.

1. Suggests that international legislation is required to close the valves of the international trafficking and that nations should consider creating new laws as proposed by the UNCCP to help combat the child prostitution industry.

2. Encourages individual nations to allocate resources to crack down on internal child prostitution by means of law enforcement and rigorous policing, and will provide resources where appropriate as decided by the UNCCP.

3. Further encourages nations to give tougher sentences to pimps and traffickers

4. Further Believes that as many children are driven into prostitution by poverty or hopelessness and therefore another long lasting solution to the issues in hand would be to have the UNCCP advise individual nations on how to address the problems of their infrastructures and economies, with the possibility of financial aid from the United nations and other world organisations to this end.

5. Suggests the setting up of the UNCCP (the United Nations Commission for the eradication of Child Prostitution). The commission will:

1. Address the issues here to a greater extent to include specific cases and crisis.

2. Focus on education for adults and children and the securing of positive futures for child prostitutes.

3. Allow internal affaires to be left to their respective countries, aside from financial aid, unless the UNCCP’s help is specifically called upon.

4. Allow all member states with an interest in the UNCCP will be entitled to a seat upon it and to have a say in the discussions, decisions and actions of the UNCCP.

5. Remain actively seized on the matter

6. Suggests that an education program organized by the UNCCP for all consenting member states to educate their people of issues behind child prostitution and to help to sensitise global public opinion against this problem.

7. Also proposes to set up a contraception distribution agency through the UNCCP to distribute contraception in areas suggested by the UNCCP's reports, and to distribute contraception through the education program.

8. Supports the setting up of rehabilitation centres, organised primarily by the UNCCP with the consent of the relevant authorities for the victims of child prostitution.

9. Suggests that the UNCCP initiates an action group which will find alternative employment for child prostitutes where necessary, or extra welfare for families on the condition that the child doesn’t revert to prostitution.

10. Requests that in all consenting member states legislation is adapted to treat child prostitutes as victims and will face no official criminal charges themselves but that they are sent instead to the rehabilitation centres mentioned in clause 8.
