In particular, the Committee welcomes the accession to the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime; the signature of the Memorandum on Coordinated Mekong Ministerial Initiative against Trafficking; the adoption of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Law in 2005; the adoption of the Five-Year National Plan of Action to Combat Human Trafficking (2007–2011); the establishment of the Central Body for Suppression of Trafficking in persons in 2006 and the plan to organize a special police force for child protection. It also notes the State party’s significant efforts to combat international sex trafficking of women and girls and to protect repatriated victims of cross-border sex trafficking. However, the Committee remains concerned that: (a) The State party is a source country for men, women and children who are subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced labour, and for women and children in forced prostitution in other countries; (b) Trafficking and sexual exploitation of women and girls persist in the country for the purpose of prostitution, particularly in urban areas; and (c) The State party has made limited efforts to prevent and protect victims of internal trafficking and lacks information on the number of children victims of trafficking. 92. In the light of article 34 and other related articles of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Strengthen its efforts to combat international and internal child trafficking, including by establishing more rigorous border control; 21
