The Parliamentary Assembly, in its Recommendation 2269, emphasizes the need for a Europe-wide dialogue on addressing child abuse in institutions, following its Resolution 2533 (2024). It commends the Lanzarote Committee for initiating a third monitoring round focused on protecting children from sexual abuse within trusted circles. The Assembly urges the Committee of Ministers to promote best practices, such as Switzerland's acknowledgment of its responsibility and public apologies to victims. It also advocates for the establishment of memorials to honor victims of institutional mistreatment, reinforcing the Council of Europe's core values. Additionally, the Assembly calls for member States to recognize past abuses, issue formal apologies, provide compensation to victims without time constraints, and ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted without a statute of limitations.
