"UNICEF is an extremely important global organisation, which I have had the pleasure of working with in the past. It is, of course, only one of the organisations in the field. The work which UNICEF has done with the ILO to promote a common platform of action on this subject is extremely important.
However, if the honourable Member is making the point that in order to deal with these global problems we need a greater commitment to multilateralism and to multinational institutions; if she is saying that there should be one message from this Parliament to the US Administration and to other administrations around the world, then she will have me leading the standing ovation for her remarks, because she is entirely right.
What are we trying to do? We are trying to deal with poverty, insufficient education and training, insufficient institutional capacity to apply national laws even where they exist. We are talking about cooperation in dealing with transnational crime, because this is an appalling criminal activity, pushing young boys into employment and young girls into prostitution. To deal with all those problems, we need effective multilateral institutions, and I hope that the European Union will continue to be at the forefront of those internationally who are supporting multilateral solutions to these problems."@en1
