Also present are the French Minister of Tourism, Leon Bertrand during his official trip to Asia; Mrs. Roé D’Albert; and Caroline Bakker, Head of Children in Need of Special Protection at UNICEF. France has been very willing to help stop sexual exploitation by tourists.
Among other efforts, the French Ambassador has also pledged to work with the Cambodian government to facilitate legal procedures which would allow the extradition and prosecution of French citizens who commit sex crimes in Cambodia.
The French government has also provided invaluable assistance in drafting revised Criminal and Civil Codes as well as a new draft of an anti-trafficking law.
