Article 5 states:
(1) Every child has the right to an upbringing free of violence. Corporal punishment, infliction of mental suffering, sexual abuse and other ill-treatment are prohibited. Every child has the right to protection from economic and sexual exploitation.
(2) Every child victim of violence or exploitation shall have the right to adequate compensation and rehabilitation. Further details shall be determined by law.”
