The relevant international law is also significant in that it defines what constitutes sexual abuse and exploitation, thereby giving guidance on what conduct children need to be protected from and which acts should be legally prohibited.
Unfortunately in Iran, despite the fact that a few NGOs deal with this problem, there has been little effort in combating efficiently, and protecting children against, sexual abuses which in most cases are committed by the victims' relatives and therefore are less likely to be prosecuted by judicial authorities.
This article examines the legal system of Iran in this respect, and provides recommendations and practical suggestions for combating effectively child sexual abuse and exploitation, by referring to the practices of certain countries as models for protection and prevention.
Articles 34 and 35 of the convention explicitly require states parties to take actions to protect children from all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation, specifically citing such acts such as prostitution, pornography, and trafficking.
Specifically directed at child sexual abuse and exploitation, the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography, supplements the CRC by expanding the actions that states parties are required to undertake to protect children from prostitution, pornography, and trafficking.
In addition, Iran included the following reservation to the CRC upon ratification: The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right not to apply any provisions or articles of the Convention that are incompatible with Islamic Laws and the i ntemationaJ legislation in effect, If child sexual abuse and exploitation are to be aggressively combated, all agreements must be ratified.
