Recommendation
Two treaty bodies ... recommended that Montenegro strengthen efforts to eliminate child and forced marriages in those communities through a strategy involving access to education, employment and social services; implement legislation criminalizing extramarital union with a juvenile, facilitate the filing of complaints by victims, and investigate, prosecute and sanction those responsible; provide the Office of the National Coordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings with adequate resources; and take measures to prevent domestic violence, and investigate and prosecute those responsible. CRC recommended establishing a system to track child marriage in ethnic groups, and providing child victims with shelter and rehabilitation and counselling services. The United Nations country team recommended creating specialized communitybased services to increase uptake of education, health care and labour market participation and prevent child marriages, and allocating additional resources to implement policies to eradicate child marriage. CRC, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the United Nations country team recommended strengthening awareness-raising campaigns in that area. [Para 57]
