Abstract: To ensure a proper prevention and combating of
sexual exploitation and sexual abuse against children the provisions of the
special parts of Moldovan and Romanian Criminal Codes should be in line with
art. 18-23 of Lanzarote Convention. However, Moldovan and Romanian Criminal
Codes do not reflect entirely these provisions. Unjustified deflections from
the provisions of art. 18-23 of Lanzarote Convention have a negative impact on
unifying the international provisions on preventing and combating sexual
exploitation and sexual abuse against children. To facilitate the compatibility
of the special parts of Moldovan and Romanian Criminal Codes with Lanzarote
Convention, the authors of this article highlight solutions to improve legal
provisions.
Keywords: Lanzarote Convention, sexual abuses, child prostitution,
child pornography, child participation in pornographic performances, children
corruption, children accosting for sexual purposes.
