The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe voiced its concern at the increase in crime against minors recorded in many European states. A great many such crimes are committed by persons who care for children and who hold authority over them. It is known that traditional penalties cannot effectively prevent re-offending or remedy personality disorders that are the cause of crimes against minors. To prevent re-offending, the Assembly stressed the advisability of using legal measures. Such measures may be provided for in civil and family law, as well as under specific laws on the protection of children.
The Assembly invited member states to adopt all the necessary measures to improve protection of children’s rights, coordinate their efforts to combat the spread of child pornography and sexual exploitation of minors and ratify the Council of Europe’s Convention as quickly as possible.
