ASEM - Resource Centre
At the second ASIA-Europe-Meeting (ASEM) Summit in London in April 1998, The Philippines and the United Kingdom presented a joint initiative to promote international co-operation on child welfare. This was taken forward in October at the Lancaster House experts meeting. With reference to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Plan of Action of the 1996 Stockholm Congress it was decided to establish a web based resource centre at the Centre for Europe's Children, to provide information to all those working to combat the sexual exploitation of children.
