CRC/C/15/Add.204 page 12 (b) Undertake a study of children involved in the commercial sex industry and use the data to design policies and programmes to prevent commercial sexual exploitation of children, including through the development of a National Plan of Action on Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children as agreed at the first and second World Congresses against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children held in 1996 and 2001; (c) Train law enforcement officials, social workers and prosecutors on how to receive, monitor, investigate and prosecute complaints in a child-sensitive manner that respects the privacy of the victim; (d) Prioritize recovery assistance and ensure that education and training as well as psychosocial assistance and counselling are provided to victims; (e) Cooperate with countries in the region to combat commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking of children. Juvenile justice 59. The Committee is concerned that the minimum age of criminal responsibility of 9 years is too low; children between the ages of 15 and 18 in conflict with the law are tried as adults; juvenile offenders who have been deprived of their liberty are not separated from adults and there are no programmes for their rehabilitation and integration. 60. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Ensure that juvenile justice standards are fully adhered to, in particular articles 37, 39 and 40 of the Convention, the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (the Beijing Rules) and the United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (the Riyadh Guidelines), and in the light of the Committee’s 1995 day of general discussion on the administration of juvenile justice (CRC/C/46, chap. III, sect. C); (b) Ensure, as a matter of urgency, that juveniles in detention are kept separately from adults; (c) Set a clear minimum age of criminal responsibility which is at an internationally acceptable level; (d) Ensure that all children from that minimum age till the age of 18 are accorded the special protection guaranteed under the Convention; (e) Establish juvenile courts; (f) Seek technical assistance from, among others, UNICEF and OHCHR in reforming the juvenile justice system, in particular with regard to juvenile detention and rehabilitation services.
