U.S. Presents Report to the Committee on the Rights of the Child
A Senior U.S. Delegation appeared before the Committee on the Rights of the Child May 16 to present our periodic reports on U.S. implementation of the Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution, and Child Pornography and on the Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict. These regularly scheduled reports detail the robust legal framework that exists in the United States to protect children from exploitation through the implementation of these protocols.
The U.S. delegation is led by Richard Visek, State Department Acting Legal Adviser, and Susan Coppedge, the State Department’s Ambassador-at-Large to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. It also includes other high-level officials from the State Department, and the Departments of Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security, as well as Cynthia H. Coffman, the Attorney General of Colorado.
