OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE
CHILD ON THE SALE OF CHILDREN, CHILD PROSTITUTION AND
CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
The States Parties to the present Protocol,
Considering that, in order further to achieve the purposes of the Convention on the
Rights of the Child and the implementation of its provisions, especially articles 1, 11, 21,
32, 33, 34, 35 and 36, it would be appropriate to extend the measures that States Parties
should undertake in order to guarantee the protection of the child from the sale of children,
child prostitution and child pornography,
Considering also that the Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes the right of
the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is
likely to be hazardous or to interfere with the child's education, or to be harmful to the
child's health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development,
Gravely concerned at the significant and increasing international traffic of children for
the purpose of the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography,
Deeply concerned at the widespread and continuing practice of sex tourism, to which
children are especially vulnerable, as it directly promotes the sale of children, child prosti-
tution and child pornography,
Recognizing that a number of particularly vulnerable groups, including girl children,
are at greater risk of sexual exploitation, and that girl children are disproportionately rep-
resented among the sexually exploited,
Concerned about the growing availability of child pornography on the Internet and oth-
er evolving technologies, and recalling the International Conference on Combating Child
Pornography on the Internet (Vienna, 1999) and, in particular, its conclusion calling for the
worldwide criminalization of the production, distribution, exportation, transmission, im-
portation, intentional possession and advertising of child pornography, and stressing the
importance of closer cooperation and partnership between Governments and the Internet
industry,
Believing that the elimination of the sale of children, child prostitution and child por-
nography will be facilitated by adopting a holistic approach, addressing the contributing
factors, including underdevelopment, poverty, economic disparities, inequitable socio-eco-
nomic structure, dysfunctioning families, lack of education, urban-rural migration, gender
discrimination, irresponsible adult sexual behaviour, harmful traditional practices, armed
conflicts and trafficking of children,
Believing that efforts to raise public awareness are needed to reduce consumer demand
for the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, and also believing in the
importance of strengthening global partnership among all actors and of improving law en-
forcement at the national level,

Noting the provisions of international legal instruments relevant to the protection of
children, including the Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Cooperation
with Respect to Inter-Country Adoption, the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of In-
ternational Child Abduction, the Hague Convention on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Rec-
ognition, Enforcement and Cooperation in Respect of Parental Responsibility and
Measures for the Protection of Children, and International Labour Organization Conven-
tion No. 182 on the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst
Forms of Child Labour,
Encouraged by the overwhelming support for the Convention on the Rights of the
Child, demonstrating the widespread commitment that exists for the promotion and protec-
tion of the rights of the child,
Recognizing the importance of the implementation of the provisions of the Programme
of Action for the Prevention of the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child
Pornography and the Declaration and Agenda for Action adopted at the World Congress
against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children, held at Stockholm from 27 to 31
August 1996, and the other relevant decisions and recommendations of pertinent
international bodies,
Taking due account of the importance of the traditions and cultural values of each peo-
ple for the protection and harmonious development of the child,
Have agreed as follows:

phy as provided for by the present Protocol.
