Call for Papers
The World Summit on Child Labour and Child Exploitation
will evaluate the success or failure of domestic and
international efforts to control and eradicate child labour
and child exploitation. It will do so by focusing discussion
on the roles of both national and international organisations
representing employers and workers, non-government
organisations and governments and law enforcement
authorities. It will engage the corporate sector, so that the
extent to which responsible corporate citizenship is being
practiced in both developing and developed countries can
be tested.
The Summit will also consider whether and how
international companies and organisations are addressing
the exploitation in their labour obligations and in attempting
to set higher standards. Where efforts are considered to be
unsatisfactory or non existent the need for new approaches
to protect children’s rights will be discussed.
It will also consider other forms of exploitation of children,
including child trafficking and sexual exploitation.
The voices of children will also be heard, as their wants and
needs are often overlooked.
An international summit provides an opportunity to take a
fresh look at this issue from these perspectives. Holding it
in an affluent country such as Australia highlights the
contribution its citizens are making to the problems we seek
to identify and address, and focuses attention on the need
for change.
We are calling for papers on topics relevant to the following
four broad themes:
1. Economic, Social Cultural and Health issues.
2. Legal and Political measures.
3. Commercial and Corporate responses.
4. Public Awareness and Education initiatives.
Abstracts of no more than 300 words are invited on the
following sub-themes:
Corporate social responsibility for the protection of children
from exploitation,
The role of non government organisations in protecting
children from exploitation,
Enforcement and regional cooperation to avoid the
exploitation of children in cyberspace,
The exploitation of children in armed conflict,
Sexual exploitation, violence and bullying towards children
in the workplace,
The economic and sexual exploitation of Indigenous
children,
The rehabilitation of children who have been the victims of
child labour,
Measures to protect children’s conditions of work and
payment in the course of their legitimate employment,
What do children want?
The implementation of legislative sanctions against
employers who negligently, carelessly or intentionally
exploit the children they employ,
The exploitation of children by labour in prostitution,
Cross-border and international cooperation in the protection
of children from economic exploitation,
Domestic enforcement of children’s rights and UN
processes,
Public education and fulfilment of the UNCRC obligations,
Development of social, political and economic rights of
children in order to prevent their economic exploitation,
The role of Children’s Commissioners and Ombudsmen,
Constitutional protection of children’s rights,
Women’s rights and children’s workplace rights in both
western and developing countries,
We aim to produce outcomes directed at (inter alia):
Actions by Governments, including legislation directed at
controlling imports that have been produced by child labour,
The trafficking of children for labour, sexual exploitation
and gain,
The development of legal models and more effective
enforcement of laws for the protection of children from all
forms of exploitation,
Model Treaties to control the export of goods produced by
child labour,
Corporate codes of conduct by multinationals and importers
that are transparent and enforceable,
Promoting the concept of corporate social responsibility as
a positive factor in creating economic opportunities,
Independent monitoring, particularly in Western countries
that are major consumers of the products of child labour,
Public education of the nature, extent and evils associated
with child labour,
The strengthening of institutions to create good governance
in the area of child labour,
Domestic legal issues concerning the use of the services of
children, the need for legislation to control it, and the
protection of children where family breakdown has left them
vulnerable to exploitation.
We have identified the following possible themes for Plenary
Sessions:
Exploitation of Children in Western Democracies – Model
legislation and Legal Remedies and the Role of Government,
Incorporation and Enforcement of Human Rights Legislation
and Laws Protecting Children from
Economic Exploitation in all Countries,
The Role of the International Trade Union Movement in the
Eradication of child labour,
The Exploitation of Children involving Sexual Exploitation,
Trafficking and Servitude–new technologies, the Globalised
World and the movement of economic refugees across
international borders,
The Role of National and Multi-National Corporations in the
Promotion or Prevention of Child Exploitation,
The Development of Enhanced Public Awareness of the
Extent and Existence of the Economic and Sexual
Exploitation of Children in Western and Developing
Countries,
Models for the Minimum Legal Protection of Children in
Work,
The Rehabilitation of Children who have been the Victims of
Exploitation.
