This issue of the Eurojust News looks at aspects of Eurojust’s contribution to the European Union’s fight against child abuse, especially in the form of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and abuse through the internet. Children are self-evidently vulnerable, and need special protection from those who prey on them. The Treaty of Lisbon requires the European Union to promote the protection of the rights of the child and Eurojust is wholly committed to helping combat the exploitation of children.
