Information om publikationen

First report from the Lanzarote Committee – Committee of the Parties to the Council of Europe Convention on the protection of children against sexual exploitation and sexual abuse.

The 1st monitoring round of the implementation of the Lanzarote Convention focuses on the protection of children against sexual abuse in the circle of trust. Two reports will cover this theme in the 26 States (those which were Parties to the Convention at the time the monitoring round was launched).

This first report provides the general framework to sexual abuse of children in the circle of trust, addressing four sets of issues: i) criminalisation of sexual abuse of children in the circle of trust; ii) collection of data on child sexual abuse in the circle of trust; iii) best interests of the child and child friendly criminal proceedings related to cases of child sexual abuse in the circle of trust; and iv) corporate liability with respect to such cases.
