Australia and ASEAN Unite to Protect Children1
September 2005
Demonstrating a strong commitment to child protection, senior government officials from across ASEAN and Australia gathered in Vientiane, Laos on 1 September 2005 to discuss enhanced initiatives which will make it even more difficult for child sex tourists to harm children.
At the launch of the meeting, the Australian Ambassador to Laos, Mr Alistair Maclean, emphasised Australia's commitment to prevent its own citizens from harming children. He said that Australia was tackling the problem on two fronts; in Australia and overseas. Their programs include a range of prevention strategies, including strengthened law enforcement and training for relevant sectors including prosecutors, police, government officials and the tourism industry.
