The United Nations Committee On The Rights Of The Child: Red Flag

Child Sex Offenders Dept: Even though the country prosecuted more child sex offenders last year than in 2010, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child raised a red flag, according to Vancouver Sun. It expressed "deep concern that thousands of children are exploited into prostitution ... and that rape of children is on the rise." Preschool-aged victims may be off the streets, but Cambodia is still a destination of choice for sexual predators. "The committee is seriously concerned that child sex tourism has been increasing in recent years and that an alarming proportion of children are exposed to sexual violence and pornography, especially through the Internet," it said in a June 2010 report.
