75^th MEETING OF THE DIRECTING COUNCIL OF THE
INTER-AMERICAN CHILDREN'S INSTITUTE

June, 7-9,  2000
Ottawa, Canada

That the abuse and commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents is a crime against humanity, as it is an extremely cruel violation of Human Rights;

We declare that:

To forget is to permit, and to remember is to fight; for this reason, we propose that the IACI create an Inter-American Day for the Struggle Against Abuse and Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents, in which all member states must carry out national actions.
