Fourth Report of the Special Rapporteur on Child Protection: Statements

 

The measures being worked on will facilitate full compliance with the criminal law provisions of a number of international legal instruments, including outstanding requirements in the optional protocol. These will be brought before the Government. A report on the Swedish Government's evaluation last year of its 1999 legislation criminalising the purchase of sex was submitted to the Attorney General for advice. The report and the recent advice of the Attorney General concerning the legal and constitutional implications of introducing a ban on the purchase of sex will be submitted to the Minister for Justice and Equality shortly.
