In 1989, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child passed the most popular resolution ever, which has now been adopted by more than 190 Countries, declaring that all children must be protected from all forms of abuse. Specific mention was made of sexual abuse and that that all nations should take all appropriate measures to prevent the use of children in prostitution and the production of pornography. Interpol's involvement in the investigation of offences against children also began in 1989 following the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Interpol started working on this important issue and co-ordinated the international fight to eradicate the exploitation of, and crimes against, children. Children are the most vulnerable individuals in society, they are also the most precious commodity that the world has and have a right to be protected from all forms of abuse. Interpol as an organization is also committed to eradicating the sexual abuse of children and have passed its own resolutions in support of this. |
