He deemed that the participation of all, including governments and the civil society, can contribute to reducing the risk of abusing children, "especially in developing countries where children usually comprise a third of the population."

   He insisted that the persistence of this phenomenon is due to the involvement of international organized crime networks.

   Loulichki deemed that a particular attention must be given to the phenomenon of using new information technologies as a means to breach child rights.

   He joined his view to that of special rapporteur, Najat M’jid Maala, for a global, constructive and integration approach for the management of the issue of child abuse, which he said, would allow for engaging concrete and realistic actions.

   Morocco, the diplomat stressed, has always upheld that addressing this issue should be done while taking stock of the sub-regional, regional and international dimensions.
