Title: Child Pornography: First Report of the Dutch National Rapporteur
Summary: The aim of this initial report is to provide some insight into the phenomenon of child pornography. The current state of affairs is also broadly analysed. The core theme within the analysis is that the approach towards tackling child pornography is inextricably linked to the overall approach towards tackling sexual violence against children, and must form part of this. At the present time, ample attention is already being paid to the structure of the policy on child pornography, specifically with regard to the repressive strategy. Considerations are being made regarding the most effective way of allocating the police capacity involved in the programme of measures, at a central and regional level, as described in the section ondetection in Chapter 3. However, an effective programme consists of more than just repressive action alone. Bodies other than the police and the judicial authorities have responsibilities in this area, as well; these other bodies will also be discussed in the following chapters. Contents: Chapter 1 ‘The phenomenon of child pornography’. This chapter forms the response to an extensive literature study, which enabled us to gain an insight into the complexity of the phenomenon. Chapter 2 ‘The government agenda’. This chapter analyses the manner in which the government has responded in terms of policymaking to the phenomenon of child pornography as it manifested itself as a social phenomenon and isstill continuing to do so. In view of the fact that child pornography forms part of the wider context of sexual violence against children, this report will look at aspects including the question as to whether the specific characteristics of child pornography that are shown in Chapter 1 have been taken into account in the policy initiatives in that area over the past two decades. It also examines current policy initiatives from the perspective of international developments and conventions, in which Articles 19 and 34 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Lanzarote Convention in particular have served as the guideline. Chapter 3 ‘Implementation’. The central question in this chapter relates to the way in which the means of implementation in practice contribute to the strategy to tackle child pornography within the wider context of protecting children from sexual violence. The processes that form part of the implementation policy that will be discussed include prevention, identification and registration, the repressive approach – consisting of detection, prosecution and trial and (after-care for and) monitoring of convicted sex offenders – and the provision of care to victims. This report also devotes special attention to the public-private sector partnership, which is essential in tackling child pornography. Chapter 4 ‘Conclusions and recommendations’. Finally, the report states which conclusions can be drawn from the previous chapters and what recommendations must be associated with these.
