At the fourth session of the Ad Hoc Committee, the Special Rapporteur on violenceagainst women, its causes and consequences suggested that the purpose of the protocolshould include trafficking of persons into slavery-like conditions, in order toencompass trafficking for domestic work, forced marriages and forced motherhood, whichwere not traditionally encompassed under the term “forced labour”. Furthermore, it wasproposed that the protection of human rights of trafficked persons should be explicitlyincluded as a primary purpose in paragraph 1 of the protocol and that the phrase “sexualexploitation” should be deleted, as the term was subject to a wide range of divergent interpretations,according to whether all activities in the sex industry constituted “sexualexploitation” per se or whether only sex work under exploitative or slavery-like conditionscould qualify as “sexual exploitation” (see A/AC.254/CRP.13). The Special Rapporteur onthe sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography highlighted that, as far aschildren were concerned, the phrase “for the purpose of forced labour or sexual exploitation”would run counter to article 35 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, whichcalled on States parties to prevent the abduction of, the sale of or traffic in children forany purpose and in any form (see A/AC.254/CRP.19; see also on this issue the commentssubmitted during the fourth session of the Ad Hoc Committee by the United NationsChildren’s Fund (UNICEF), A/AC.254/CRP.17) . In both of the aforementioned positions,grave concerns were expressed concerning the inclusion of the phrase “in accordance withtheir domestic law” in paragraph 2 (a) of option 2 of article 2. The deletion of the referenceto sexual exploitation was further proposed by the International Labour Organization,which recommended amending the article to cover, as a minimum, trafficking in personsfor the purpose of labour exploitation, in particular forced labour and serfdom (seeA/AC.254/CRP.14).2. At the fourth session of the Ad Hoc Committee, Lithuania suggested that the definitionof the purpose of the protocol should exclude the regulation of the purpose of traffickingin persons, because such regulation would limit the scope of application of itsprovisions. Instead, it was suggested that the article should focus on the coercive (physicaland psychological) nature of such trafficking, which is in effect the characteristic thatdetermines the nature and degree of danger of the crime, helping to separate trafficking inpersons from the smuggling of migrants (see A/AC.254/L.56).
