CRC/C/FIN/CO/4 about the campaign to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Convention. Nonetheless, it remains concerned at the low level of awareness of the Convention among the general public, including parents and professionals working with children. 21. The Committee recommends that the State party increase its efforts to strengthen knowledge among the general public, including children, parents and professionals working with children, of the Convention, national laws based on the Convention and other relevant international instruments. The Committee also recommends the reinforcement of training of all professional groups working for and with children, in particular, law enforcement officials, teachers, health workers, social workers and personnel working in all forms of alternative care, to ensure it is adequate and systematic. International cooperation 22. The Committee notes that, in 2010, the State party devoted 0.56 per cent of its gross national income (GNI) to international assistance and that it has committed to reaching the internationally agreed target of 0.7 per cent of GNI by 2015. The Committee encourages the State party to meet and, if possible, surpass the internationally agreed target of 0.7 per cent of GNI by 2015. It also encourages the State party to ensure that the realization of child rights becomes a top priority of the international cooperation agreements established with developing countries.

The Committee is also concerned that there are no legal regulations to restrict the marketing of unhealthy foods that affect child nutrition and contribute to childhood obesity and other negative health consequences. 24. The Committee recommends that the State party provide a framework for prohibiting use of child labour by Finnish companies engaged with businesses abroad and multinational companies headquartered in Finland by establishing an effective monitoring system of their supply chains. The Committee also recommends that the State party establish restrictions on marketing unhealthy foods that have a negative effect on children’s health. The Committee recommends that the State party adopt and implement regulations to ensure that the business sector complies with international and domestic standards on corporate social responsibility, particularly with regard to child rights, in line with, inter alia, the Business and Human Rights Framework adopted unanimously in 2008 by the Human Rights Council which outlines the duty of States to protect against human rights abuses by businesses, corporate responsibilities to respect human rights and the need for more effective access to remedies when violations occur. B. General principles (arts. 2, 3, 6 and 12 of the Convention) Non-discrimination 25. The Committee notes the State party’s efforts to reform the Non-discrimination Act, namely to expand the scope of its application, and its plans to establish the Office of the Ombudsman on equal treatment.
