Sub-Group, an International Symposium of experts to identify the correlation between childpornography offenders and child molesters. As outlined above, this symposium led to a May 30,2009, declaration by the G8 Ministers of Justice and Home Affairs titled, “The Risk to ChildrenPosed by Child Pornography Offenders” recognizing the findings made by the experts at thesymposium. CEOS also contributes information and expertise to inform the U.S. Government’sreport on its implementation of the Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitutionand child pornography to the U.N.’s Convention on the Rights of the Child.CEOS also attended the meetings at which the Council of Europe drafted its “Convention on theProtection of Children Against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse.” The convention willrequire signatories to criminalize all child pornography crimes, including simple possession andintentionally accessing child pornography online, solicitation (grooming), child sex abuse, andchild prostitution.In November 2008, the Department led the U.S. Government’s multidisciplinary delegation tothe World Congress III Against Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents, held in Rio deJaneiro, Brazil. The U.S. Government prepared and submitted to the Rapporteur of WorldCongress III a report reflecting the U.S. Government’s efforts to combat sexual exploitation ofchildren and adolescents since World Congress II in Yokohama in 2001. While in Rio, the U.S.Government was an active participant in negotiating and working on the Rio Declaration andPlan of Action to Prevent and Stop Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents.In 2008, INTERPOL Washington, the Department, and DOS joined with the G8 members tofund and create the INTERPOL International Child Sexual Exploitation Database (ICSE):Formerly known as the INTERPOL Child Abuse Images Database (ICAID), the database allowsinvestigators to compare newly seized images of child pornography to those already known tothe international law enforcement community in order to identify new victims and rescue themfrom ongoing abuse. INTERPOL’s database currently contains over 550,000 images reported by40 countries and has led to the identification of over 1,600 child victims. INTERPOLWashington facilitates participation in the ICSE by ICE and the FBI.Within the INTERPOL member countries, INTERPOL Washington was the first to make theissuance of Green Notices against child sex offenders a priority. These notices serve asinternational warnings about subjects who are assessed by national law enforcement authoritiesas continuing threats to public safety or may commit other criminal offenses. The issuance ofGreen Notices is also based on previous criminal convictions or history of criminal activity(habitual offenders, sex offenders, violent gang members, child pornographers). To date,INTERPOL Washington has published 3,285 such notices on deported child sexual predators insupport of ICE’s Operation Predator.Finally, by administering numerous MLATs and multilateral conventions for evidence gathering,other forms of legal assistance and extradition, OIA has supported numerous trans-nationalinvestigations and foreign prosecutions.105
. Department of Homeland Security’s International EffortsICE’s Office of International Affairs maintains an active and aggressive overseas investigationprogram to combat the sexual exploitation of children. OIA’s 63 offices in 44 countries areresponsible for the coordination of international investigations with foreign counterparts andproviding investigative support to domestic offices. ICE Attachés are DHS’ primary liaison withhost country governments, industries, and law enforcement. In addition to its investigativeresponsibilities, Attaché and OIA Headquarters offices conduct training and outreach to educateforeign government counterparts of the dangers child exploitation poses to their country’s wellbeing.OIA helps facilitate capacity building in host nations by sharing best practices utilized byU.S. federal law enforcement.ICE has been charged with investigating violations of the Tariff Act of 1930 (Title 19 USC1307), which prohibits the importation of merchandise mined, produced, or manufactured whollyor in part in any foreign country by forced labor, including forced child labor (FCL). ICE alsohas a legislative mandate to conduct international FCL outreach and training. OIA fulfills theseresponsibilities by conducting continuous outreach and training to foreign law enforcement andnon-governmental organizations (NGOs), thusly promoting investigative collaboration.OIA hosts three major biennial regional training events to discuss the issues of FCL, Child SexTourism, and Human Trafficking. The events are hosted in three separate regions of the world toaddress not only international topics of concern, but also topics specific to each region (Asia, theAmericas and Europe/Middle East/Africa). Since the implementation of the regional trainingconcept several years ago, a strong correlation between training forums and increased casereferrals and statistics has been demonstrated. Foreign subject matter experts are invited toparticipate in the regional training events. The inclusion of foreign subject matter experts hasfostered better collaboration, opened and sustained investigative dialogues, and facilitatedproactive working relationships with foreign counterparts. The goals of the events are toincrease awareness within ICE and ICE’s foreign law enforcement counterparts and enhancecommunication and cooperation between Attaché offices and representatives of other U.S.agencies and NGOs. Presentations at the events are provided by ICE subject matter experts andrepresentatives of other U.S. Government agencies including Department of Labor, DOS, and theDOJ as well as a number of NGOs and international organizations. In addition to the threemajor events, ICE Attachés conduct regional trainings in various international locations.106
