Other International Laws
The Committee said the Government must:
116 Think about ratifying the international human rights treaties that it has not yet agreed to follow, including the:
- Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers
- Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
- Convention for the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance.
117 Ratify the Optional Protocol on the sale of children, prostitution and child pornography as soon as possible.
The Optional Protocol on the sale of children, prostitution and child pornography has detailed requirements to end the sexual exploitation and abuse of children. It also protects children from being sold for non-sexual purposes - like other forms of forced labour, illegal adoption and organ donation.
The Scottish Government is very grateful to the Children's Rights Alliance for England for its kind permission to adapt its summary of the Concluding Observations which has been used throughout this booklet. Thanks also go to Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People for its help in the development of the booklet and the use of its illustrations by Alex Leonard.
