"As usual, we have no objections to Commissioner Patten’s answer. We would emphasise that boycotts are not the right way to proceed – especially since we know that, in actual practice, most cases in which children are exploited for slave labour take place in private homes and on smallholdings. I am also grateful for the support he is giving to UNICEF’s work. Dark clouds are nonetheless visible on UNICEF’s horizon because of the decision not to elect the United States to the Commission for Human Rights. Is the Commissioner able to reveal anything about the possibility of supporting UNICEF’s work in these areas? We also know that the issue of sanctions against certain other countries in this region, for example against Liberia, is highly topical. Can the Commissioner assure us that this will not mean reduced support for UNICEF and for work aimed at children? We must have intelligent sanctions. We must support education, in particular, together with the rights-based approach you talked about."@en1
