Article 7(2) of the Convention. Effective and time-bound measures. Clause (b). Direct assistance for the removal of children from the worst forms of child labour and providing for their rehabilitation and social integration. The Committee previously noted that a draft protocol for the protection of the victims of the worst forms of child labour, which would outline the standard procedure for the protection of child victims of the worst forms of child labour, had been prepared by the Child Protection and Probation Services and was being finalized for submission to the Cabinet for approval.

The Committee once again notes the Government’s information in its report that the protocol for the protection of the victims of the worst forms of child labour is still in the draft phase. The Government indicates that it is hopeful that the final document will be submitted to the competent authority in 2022. The Committee therefore urges the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that the protocol for the protection of the victims of the worst forms of child labour is adopted in the near future. It once again requests the Government to provide a copy once it is adopted.
