The protection of children against sexual exploitation and sexual abuse facilitated by information and communication technologies (ICTs)

The 2^nd monitoring round of the implementation of the Lanzarote Convention focuses on the protection of children against sexual exploitation and sexual abuse facilitated by information and communication technologies (ICTs), with a focus on the challenges raised by child self-generated sexual images and/or videos (CSGSIV). The Lanzarote Committee adopted an implementation report concluding this monitoring round on 10 March 2022. The Lanzarote Committee dedicated the first chapter of the report to the views of the 306 children from 10 States Parties to the Lanzarote Convention who contributed to the monitoring round. The Committee also analysed national legal frameworks and practices on this matter, following the “4 Ps approach”: Prevention, Protection, Prosecution and Promotion of national and international cooperation, and made specific recommendations to States Parties.

43 States were evaluated as part of the 2^nd monitoring round, as they were Parties to the Lanzarote Convention at the time of its launch in May 2017:
