CRC/C/CYP/CO/3-4 (b) Bring section 8 of its Refugee Law in line with international protection standards to ensure that the right to remain is not limited to the administrative examination stage of a claim and that, while awaiting the determination of a claim, applicants are ensured continued access to essential services; (c) Ensure the full application of its Refugee Law and its Reception Conditions Regulations to provide refugees with the same level of health care as nationals, including adequate medical care to persons with special needs, and free medical care when they do not have the means; (d) Ensure that children of internally displaced persons have equal access to all essential services, including housing schemes. In considering the above recommendations, the Committee draws the State party’s attention to the Guidelines on International Protection No. 8: Child Asylum Claims under Articles 1(A)2 and 1(F) of the 1951 Convention and/or 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees issued by UNHCR in December 2009. The Committee also encourages the State party to consider ratifying the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. Sexual exploitation and trafficking 48. The Committee welcomes the State party’s abolition of so-called “artiste” visas for the entertainment sector. However, the Committee is concerned that significant problems persist with trafficking in human beings, including children, in particular trafficking of women for sexual exploitation mainly in bars, nightclubs and so-called cabarets. It is further concerned that the State party’s National Action Plan against Trafficking in Human Beings, which covers the period of 2010–2012 lacks a child-specific focus. Furthermore, the Committee is concerned at the absence of adequate monitoring and oversight on the situation of heightened vulnerability to trafficking which the considerable number of migrant children residing in the State party with persons other than their parents or guardians face. 49. The Committee urges the State party to expeditiously ratify the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings that it signed in 2007. Furthermore, in the light of its general comment No. 13, the Committee urges the State party to raise the awareness of the public, strengthen early detection and prevention mechanisms and ensure full protection for all children victims of sexual exploitation and abuse, including in the family and outside. The Committee also recommends that the State party take all measures necessary to fulfil its obligations as a party to the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and take into account the outcome documents adopted at the 1996, 2001 and 2008 World Congresses against Sexual Exploitation of Children held, respectively, in Stockholm, Yokohama and Rio de Janeiro. It also recommends that the State party ensure adequate safeguards and checks for migrant children residing in the State party with persons other than their parents or guardians to prevent trafficking and adopt, without further delay, a specific National Action Plan for child victims of trafficking. Economic exploitation 50. While noting as positive the amendment of the Law on the Protection of Young Persons at Work (L. 48(I)/2001), the Committee is concerned that the monitoring and 11
