CRC/C/15/Add.190 page 15 (e) Respect the provisions of article 38 of the Convention and related provisions of international humanitarian law with regard to the protection of civilians, including children, in armed conflicts; (f) Guarantee the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the populations in need, and respect the rights of children among civilian populations to, among others, food, water, medical care and adequate housing; (g) Fully cooperate with the United Nations verification team investigating alleged abuses against civilians, including children, during the armed conflict. Slavery and abduction 61. The Committee welcomes the work of the Committee for the Eradication of Abduction of Women and Children. However, it remains concerned that the State party’s legislation does not adequately prohibit slavery or sanction those engaged in it and that thousands of children have been abducted and enslaved in the context of the armed conflict as well as for commercial gain (i.e. sold as servants, agricultural labourers and concubines, or forcibly recruited as soldiers). 62. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Ensure that child slavery is prohibited under domestic legislation and in accordance with the Convention and other relevant international standards; (b) End all forms of slavery and abduction of children within the State party and, in this context, urgently implement the provisions of Commission on Human Rights resolution 2001/18; (c) Prosecute those persons engaged in the abduction, sale, purchase or illegal forced recruitment of children; (d) Continue and strengthen the work of the Committee for the Eradication of Abduction of Women and Children, including through making available greater financial resources and giving the Committee more authority at the regional and local levels; (e) Provide assistance to children returning from slavery or abduction with reintegration in their families and communities; (f) Seek international cooperation in this regard. Economic exploitation 63. The Committee is concerned that: (a) Many children, including children under 15, regularly work and bear heavy responsibilities within the family;
