United Nations concerned over selling of Sri Lankan children

12 May 2019

The UN Child Rights Committee will meet in Geneva tomorrow until the 31 of this month to review Sri Lanka

under the Optional Protocol on sale of children, while it also reviews Botswana, Cabo Verde, Côte d'Ivoire,

Malta, Singapore, and Tonga.

The above are among the States, parties to the Child Rights Convention and its Optional Protocols, and so are

required to undergo regular reviews on how they are implementing the Committee’s previous

recommendations.

The Committee is scheduled to publish its findings on the respective States on the 6 of June.
