17. The Committee is concerned that as the State party improves its ability to attract private foreign and domestic investment, in addition to increasing State investment, among others, in the mining, forest and soya sectors, the regulatory environment on social and environmental responsibility of business is not yet in place to prevent possible negative impact on children.

The Committee suggests that the State party undertake efforts to ensure that foreign and domestic investment through private and State business is mindful and responsive to child rights and operates in a socially and environmentally responsible way to safeguard local communities and their children.
