CONCLUSIONS

Inclusion of the offences of child sexual abuse and child pornography in the list of crimes considered

very serious and the consequent change to the

legislation directly related to this classification.

�

Creation by every State of a national archive of processed

images, so as not to scatter resources when it comes to identifying

previously identified offenders and victims (main goal) and to

contribute effectively to charges being laid and assessment of the

penalty in several investigations, as well as to the Interpol Database

�

� International coordination in the areas of research, prevention, training, undercover agents, institutional representation and

international co-operation.


CONCLUSIONS (CONT.)

Speeding up the mechanisms which allow, in due time, police

forces to obtain the data identifying the crime scene, where it is

important to quickly gather other extremely volatile evidence.

�

Establishing a reasonable and unique time limit for retaining traffic data and allowing police authorities to gain direct access

to it in serious cases like the dissemination of images depicting child

sexual abuse, subject to later judicial validation.

�

Compulsory identification of users of prepaid data

communications and telecommunications services, cybercafé users

and users of other places providing Internet access.

�


CONCLUSIONS (CONT.)

Allowing police authorities to block sites containing images depicting child sexual abuse, subject to validation by the

competent judicial and prosecuting authority.

�

Breaching bank secrecy when crimes against children are at stake.�

Making it compulsory for ISPs to provide families with children

with the technical means necessary for their protection, as well as

to provide criminal investigation with all the means possible for

legally controlling the communication programmes they offer in

their networks.

�

Criminalisation of deliberate, repeated and persistent access to web pages containing images depicting child sexual

abuse and of viewing this type of content hosted online.

�


“It is possible to deal with the

abuse. What is harder to accept is

the knowledge that the images are spread all over the Internet”.


ARE OUR COUNTRIES REALLY PROVIDING LEA

WITH ALL THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO WIN

THE BATTLE AGAINST CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND

EXPLOITATION ON THE INTERNET?
