All ASEAN countries are Parties to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and, hence, are obligated to enforce the Convention and ensure their rights are protected (Table 1). Most ASEAN countries grow tobacco with the exception of Brunei Darussalam and Singapore. Child labour has been used in tobacco cultivation in all the tobacco growing countries. This report will provide an overview of the problem in the ASEAN region. It will address how different industries have dealt with child labour issues, laws on importation of goods using child labour, and how the tobacco industry have shielded themselves through their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, which have not eradicated the problem. A case study on child labour in tobacco growing from East Java in Indonesia is presented. Indonesia is the largest tobacco producer in the region and its leaf exports to international markets makes it important to address the problem. The report will also provide recommendations on what needs to be done to eradicate child labour in leaf production. Details: Bangkok, Thailand: Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance, 2013. 16p.
