UNICEF REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE WORLD'S CHILDREN 2006

Early day motion 1263, tabled 13 December 2005 by John Barrett (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 67 members.

That this House commends UNICEF on the publication of its new report, The State of the World's Children 2006: Excluded and Invisible; deplores the fact that hundreds of millions of children throughout the world continue to suffer from severe exploitation and discrimination while being excluded from the fundamental services and protections they require; notes that meeting the Millennium Development Goals depends on better reaching vulnerable children throughout the developing world; believes that the international community must do more to reach out to those children who are trafficked, forced into domestic servitude, or who live on the streets and in detention; and further calls on world governments to renew attempts to reach those children who have become excluded and invisible to the international community.

Signatures by party: Labour 37, Liberal Democrat 18, DUP 4, Conservative 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Respect 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
