CRC/C/15/Add.122 page 14 party undertake studies with a view to designing and implementing appropriate policies and measures, including care and rehabilitation, to prevent and combat the sexual exploitation of children. Sale, trafficking and abduction of children 40. The Committee notes the efforts of the State party to address the situation of the sale, trafficking and abduction of children, including the adoption of the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, into domestic legislation. However, the Committee is concerned about the increasing incidence of sale and trafficking of children, particularly girls, and the lack of adequate measures to enforce legislative guarantees and to prevent and combat this phenomenon. In the light of article 35 and other related provisions of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party take effective measures to strengthen law enforcement, and intensify efforts to raise awareness in communities about the sale, trafficking and abduction of children. The Committee further recommends that the State party seek to establish bilateral agreements with neighbouring countries to prevent the sale, trafficking and abduction of children and to facilitate their protection and safe return to their families. Minority groups 41. The Committee notes that domestic legislation guarantees the cultural, religious and linguistic rights of children, particularly as regards education and adoption procedures. The Committee further notes the State party’s intention to establish a Commission for the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities as a first step in guaranteeing greater protection to minorities. However, the Committee is concerned that customary law and traditional practice continue to threaten the full realization of the rights guaranteed to children belonging to minority groups. The Committee recommends that the State party undertake all appropriate measures to ensure that the rights of children belonging to minority groups, including the Khoi-Khoi and San, are guaranteed, particularly those rights concerning culture, religion, language and access to information. Juvenile justice 42. While the Committee welcomes the recent efforts to improve juvenile justice, it is concerned that the juvenile justice system does not cover all regions of the State party. The Committee is further concerned about: (a) The lack of an efficient and effective administration of juvenile justice and in particular its lack of compatibility with the Convention, as well as other relevant United Nations standards; (b) The length of time taken before juvenile cases can be heard and the apparent lack of confidentiality accorded to such cases; (c) The use of detention as other than a last resort;
