There were no reports of child prostitution. Child labor existed in the
informal, subsistence, and family business sectors of the economy; however,
it was not a problem in the organized labor market. Concluding Observations of the Committee on
the Rights of the Child (CRC) [DOC] UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
29 September 2006 [accessed 15 December 2010] [65] While noting that
the domestic legislation prohibits forced child prostitution, manufacturing,
acquiring or distribution of pornographic materials, bondage and slave trade,
the Committee is concerned about the potential of the State party to be or
become a destination country of trafficking in children owing to the large
number of migrants in search of employment. It notes with concern the lack of
data and the lack of research on the prevalence of national and cross-border
trafficking, child prostitution and child pornography. Concern is also
expressed about the lack of a comprehensive procedure to identify children
who may be victims of trafficking and the absence of adequate recovery and
reintegration services for these victims. Concluding Observations of the Committee on
the Rights of the Child (CRC) [DOC] UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
12 October 2001 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/oman2001.html [accessed 5 March 2011] [55] The Committee
encourages the State party to ratify the Optional Protocols to the Convention
on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and
child pornography, and on the involvement of children in armed conflict. Five Years After ECPAT: Fifth Report

also have in common, however, a number of constraints that have hindered
preparation of national plans of action. In all the countries of the region,
there is cultural resistance to addressing the problem because the subject is
largely taboo. Often the issue is
dealt with more generally under headings such as ‘violence’ and
‘trauma’. This means that there has
been no regional consensus on defining CSEC in law; in some countries, for
example, it is looked upon as an indecent act, in others as rape, although in
all 20 countries there is some section of the penal code that can be invoked
against sexual abuse and exploitation. All
