Item Child Sexual Abuse Material: Model Legislation & Global Review Ninth ed.(International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children, 2018) International Centre for Missing & Exploited ChildrenResearch began in November 2004, and the 1st Edition of Child Pornography: Model Legislation & Global Review was published in April 2006, reviewing legislation in the then 184 INTERPOL member countries. The report has been updated regularly.

It has been used by law enforcement and civil society organizations in Central America to develop and strengthen mechanisms related to missing children. As a result of the report, three countries invited ICMEC to train first responders on issues related to missing children, and one country created a unit within its police force specifically focused on missing and abducted children. In July 2016, the second report – with a focus on 10 countries in Southeast Asia – was published in the hopes of enhancing the region’s engagement in missing children’s issues. While this report does not focus on a particular region – but rather a comparative study of Belarus, Canada, Finland, Kazakhstan, Russia, and the United States – it is similar in scope and purpose to the previously cited reports. And the key takeaway remains the same: we have a global duty of care to help prevent child from going missing, find any child who has gone missing for any reason, and ensure that all children experience a safe childhood.Item Missing Children in Southeast Asia: Model Framework & Regional Review(International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children, 2016) International Centre for Missing & Exploited ChildrenThe first report in this series, Missing Children in Central America: Research of Practices and Legislation on Prevention and Recovery, was published in collaboration with the UNICEF Latin America and Caribbean Office.

The Convention on the Protection of Children Against Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (also known as the Lanzarote Convention) is the only international legal instrument that specifically addresses online grooming. This report looks at the existing national legislation in 196 countries.Item Studies in Child Protection: Sexual Extortion and Nonconsensual Pornography(International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children, 2018) International Centre for Missing & Exploited ChildrenThe purpose of this paper is to define and analyze sexual extortion and nonconsensual pornography as they impact children, as well as to better understand obstacles to prevention, policy intervention, and prosecution.
