CRC/C/GEO/CO/4 Internally displaced children 38. The Committee notes the revision of the Law on Internally Displaced Persons in February 2014 and the adoption of the strategy for internally displaced persons and the accompanying action plan. The Committee is however concerned by: (a) The lack of consideration of the specific needs of internally displaced children in the definition of assistance modalities and inheritance of the status of internally displaced persons; (b) Reports of internally displaced children in the State party facing inadequate living conditions and the limited educational services and opportunities for integration for internally displaced families. 39. The Committee recalls its previous recommendation (see CRC/C/GEO/CO/3, para. 61) to give the highest priority to the protection of the rights of internally displaced children and recommends that the State party: (a) Mainstream needs-based assistance to internally displaced children into national social protection systems and development plans and guarantee their inclusion in professional programmes; (b) While seeking long-term solutions, ensure that appropriate alternative accommodation is made available to all residents upon the closure of collective centres, especially families with children and strengthen support to community-based initiatives to generate livelihoods and employment for internally displaced persons; (c) Continue to follow up the recommendations of the Representative of the Secretary-General on the human rights of internally displaced persons (see E/CN.4/2006/71/Add.7). Economic exploitation, including child labour 40. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to combat all forms of child labour, including in the informal sector, and urges the State party to restore the labour inspectorate, thus strengthening the monitoring of prohibitions of child labour based on the law. Children in street situations 41. Taking into account the adoption on 22 June 2016 of the legislative reform package affecting children in street situations and the development of a fully fledged system for the reintegration of children in street situations into society, the Committee urges the State party to: (a) Strengthen the implementation of action plans for the protection of the rights of the child by incorporating a separate goal on preventing and combating the sale and exploitation of children and on addressing the situation of children in street situations throughout the country; (b) Include effective identification and referral mechanisms for comprehensive and long-term care, recovery and reintegration programmes, followup and measures in support of families and communities; (c) Carry out a comprehensive study to assess the scope, nature and root causes of the presence of children in street situations in the country in order to develop a national prevention policy; (d) Consider putting in place a mechanism to collaborate with neighbouring countries to ensure the protection of children in street situations; (e) Conduct public awareness campaigns to address the stigma attached to children in street situations. 13
