With reference to article 2, the Argentine Republic would prefer a broader definition
of sale of children, as set out in the Inter-American Convention on International
Traffic in Minors which Argentina has ratified and which, in its article 2, expressly
defines traffic as the abduction, removal or retention, or attempted abduction, removal
or retention, of a minor for unlawful purposes or by unlawful means. Therefore, under
article 41 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, this meaning shall continue
to apply. For the same reasons, the Argentine Republic believes that the sale of children
should be criminalized in all cases and not only in those enumerated in article 3,
paragraph 1 (a).
Concerning article 3, the Argentine Republic further states that it has not signed
international instruments on the international adoption of minors, has entered a reservation
in respect of subparagraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of article 21 of the Convention
on the Rights of the Child dealing with international adoption, and does not permit
international adoption of children domiciled or resident in its jurisdiction.
Concerning article 7, the Argentine Republic construes the term 'confiscation' (confiscación)
to mean the seizure of goods and proceeds as part of a sentence or penalty (decomisar).*
* Translator's note: The meaning of the Spanish term "decomisar" is not as broad as
the English "seizure". "Decomisar" means "seizure" during the sentencing or penalty
phase only. (Seizure as a preventive measure is rendered with "incautación".)

Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children,
child prostitution and child pornography, dated 25 May 2000, and has the honor to
refer to the Palestinian request to accede to this Protocol (Reference number C.N.796.2017.TREATIES-IV.11.c).
‘Palestine’ does not satisfy the criteria for statehood under international law and
lacks the legal capacity to join the aforesaid Optional Protocol both under general
international law and the terms of bilateral Israeli-Palestinian agreements.
The Government of Israel does not recognize ‘Palestine’ as a State, and wishes to
place on record, for the sake of clarity, its position that it does not consider ‘Palestine’
a party to the [Protocol] and regards the Palestinian request for accession as being
without legal validity and without effect upon Israel’s treaty relations under the
[Protocol].

the Convention on the Rights of the Child by becoming a party to the Protocol.
(2) THE TERM "CHILD PORNOGRAPHY". The United States understands that the term "sale
of children" as defined in Article 2(a) of the Protocol, is intended to cover any
transaction in which remuneration or other consideration is given and received under
circumstances in which a person who does not have a lawful right to custody of the
child thereby obtains de facto control over the child.
(3) THE TERM "CHILD PORNOGRAPHY". -The United States understands the term "child pornography",
as defined in Article 2(c) of the Protocol, to mean the visual representation of a

obligated to criminalize conduct proscribed by Article 3(1)(a)(ii) of the Protocol
or to take all appropriate legal and administrative measures required by Article 3(5)
of the Protocol.
(C) UNDERSTANDING OF "IMPROPERLY INDUCING CONSENT". -The United States understands
that the term "Improperly inducing consent" in Article 3(1)(a)(ii) of the Protocol
means knowingly and willfully inducing consent by offering or giving compensation
for the relinquishment of parental rights.
(6) IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROTOCOL IN THE FEDERAL SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES. -The
United States understands that the Protocol shall be implemented by the Federal Government
to the extent that it exercises jurisdiction over the matters covered therein, and
otherwise by the State and local governments. To the extent that State and local governments
