Extraterritorial jurisdiction: The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary steps to ensure that its domestic legislation explicitly enables it to establish and exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction over all offences under the Protocol, and without the criterion of double criminality.

Protection of the rights of child victims:  The Committee recommends that the State party put in place mechanisms to identify at an early stage refugee, asylum-seeking and migrant children coming from countries where there are or have been armed conflicts and who may have been involved in hostilities. It also recommends that the State party ensure that the personnel responsible for such identification are trained in child rights, child protection and interviewing skills.
