Pursuant to the Human Rights Council Resolution 7/13, the Special Rapporteur on the sale and sexual exploitation of children, including child prostitution, child pornography and other child sexual abuse material prepared a thematic report to the General Assembly.

This report builds on the thematic report, presented by the Special Rapporteur in March 2018, on surrogacy and the sale of children (A/HRC/37/60). In this report, the Special Rapporteur examined the consideration of surrogacy solely through a child-rights perspective and as it relates to the sale of children.
