CRC/C/THA/CO/2 page 19 (c) Improve the labour inspection system in order to safeguard that work performed by children is light work and not exploitative, and enable that system to monitor and report on the practice of domestic and rural labour by children; (d) Ensure that children engaged in labour continue to have access to education, training and recreation; and (e) Continue to actively participate in regional and interregional ILO/IPEC activities. Sexual exploitation and trafficking in children 72. The Committee notes the serious efforts made by the State party to combat the sexual exploitation of children, including the adoption of the Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act of 1996 and the Plan of Action on Preventing and Combating Commercial Sexual Exploitation. It expresses its concern, however, at the wide occurrence of sexual exploitation including child prostitution, sex tourism and child pornography in the State party. 73. Despite the State party’s intensified efforts to combat trafficking in children, such as the establishment in March 2005 of the National Committee on Prevention and Suppression of Human Trafficking, the adoption of a six-year national policy and plan of action to address the issue of trafficking in children and women in 2003 and the conclusion of memoranda of understanding with neighbouring countries, the Committee expresses its deep concern that Thailand is a source, transit and destination country for trafficking in children for the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labour. It notes with concern the reported cases of internal trafficking, such as trafficking of girls belonging to indigenous and tribal peoples from north to south. It further notes with concern the increased risk of trafficking and exploitation faced by children of vulnerable groups, as well as the deportation of child trafficking victims. Furthermore, weak law enforcement and implementation of anti-trafficking measures in the State party give cause for serious concern. 74. The Committee urges the State party to strengthen its efforts to provide adequate assistance and social reintegration services for sexually exploited and/or trafficked children in accordance with the Declaration and Agenda for Action and the Global Commitment adopted at the 1996 and 2001 World Congresses against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. 75. In light of article 34 and other related articles of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Strengthen measures to combat all forms of trafficking within the country and across its borders by ensuring effective enforcement of the relevant legislation; (b) Strengthen and expand bilateral and multilateral agreements and cooperation programmes with other countries of origin and transit to prevent trafficking in children; (c) Ensure that all trafficking cases are investigated and that perpetrators are charged and punished;
