Cyprus became on Thursday the 35th Council of Europe (CoE) member state to ratify the Convention on Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse, known as the Lanzarote Convention.
CoE Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland has said that sexual abuse constitutes one of the most outrageous and unacceptable crimes against children, a press release issued by the Council of Europe says.
“Thanks to our Convention, we can collect data and check whether the states have fulfilled their promise to protect children from sexual violence and to better combat it,” he added.
