Trafficked Children On African Cocoa Plantations (EDM129)

Trafficked Children On African Cocoa Plantations

EDM number 129 in 2008-09, proposed by Mike Hancock on 04/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Human rights and International trade.

That this House notes with concern that the trafficking of children is a growing problem in the production of cocoa and that at least 15,000 Malian children have been trafficked to work on cocoa and coffee plantations in Cote d'Ivoire; welcomes the UK's support for the relevant International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions and ILO programmes elsewhere; notes with dismay the lack of progress by the cocoa industry in implementing a monitoring and certification process and its inability to be able to guarantee the absence of trafficked labour on cocoa production lines; and calls on the Government and the cocoa industry to provide a traffick free guarantee for all cocoa products, as suggested by the Stop the Traffick coalition.

This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
