17 ABUSIVE CHILD LABOR PRACTICES IN COCOA INDUSTRY

18 SEC. 6114. (a) The Senate makes the following find19 ings: 

20 (1) The plight of hundreds of thousands of child 

21 slaves toiling in cocoa plantations in West Africa was 

22 reported in a series by Knight Ridder newspapers in 

23 June 2001. (global) 

24 (2) The report found that some of these children 

25 are sold or tricked into slavery. Most of them are be-
330 

HR 3057 PP 

1 tween the ages of 12 and 16 and some are as young 

2 as 9 years old. 

3 (3) There are 1,500,000 farms in West Africa 

4 that produce approximately 72 percent of the total 

5 global supply of cocoa, with Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana 

6 producing about 62 percent and 22 percent, respec7 tively, of the total cocoa production in Africa. Other 

8 key producers are Indonesia, Nigeria, Cameroon, and 

9 Brazil. 

10 (4) United States consumers purchase over 

11 $13,000,000,000 in chocolate products annually. 

12 (5) On September 19, 2001, representatives of the 

13 chocolate industry signed a voluntary Protocol for the 

14 Growing and Processing of Cocoa Beans and their 

15 Derivative Products in a Manner that Complies with 

16 ILO Convention 182 Concerning the Prohibition and 

17 Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst 

18 Forms of Child Labor. 

19 (6) The Protocol outlines 6 steps the industry 

20 formally agreed to undertake to end abusive and 

21 forced child labor on cocoa farms by July 2005. 

22 (7) A vital step of the Protocol was the develop23 ment and implementation by the industry of a cred24 ible, transparent, and publicly accountable industry25 wide certification system to ensure, by July 1, 2005, 
331 

HR 3057 PP 

1 that cocoa beans and their derivative products have 

2 not been grown or processed by abusive child labor or 

3 slave labor. 

4 (8) Since the Protocol was signed, some positive 

5 steps have been taken to address the worst forms of 

6 child labor and slave labor in cocoa growing, but the 

7 July 1, 2005, deadline for creation and implementa8 tion of the certification system was not fully met. 

9 (b) It is the sense of the Senate that— 

10 (1) the cocoa industry is to be commended, as the 

11 Protocol agreement is the first time that an industry 

12 has accepted moral, social, and financial responsi13 bility for the production of raw materials, wherever 

14 they are produced; 

15 (2) the Government of the Republic of Cote 

16 d’Ivoire and the Government of the Republic of 

17 Ghana should be commended for the tangible steps 

18 they have taken to address the situation of child labor 

19 in the cocoa sector; 

20 (3) even though the cocoa industry did not fully 

21 meet the July 1, 2005, deadline for creation and im22 plementation of the labor certification system, it has 

23 agreed to redouble its efforts to achieve a certification 

24 system that will cover 50 percent of the cocoa growing 

25 regions of Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana by July 1, 2008; 
332 

HR 3057 PP 

1 (4) the cocoa industry should make every effort 

2 to meet this deadline in Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana and 

3 expand the certification process to other West African 

4 nations and any other country where abusive child 

5 labor and slave labor are used in the growing and 

6 processing of cocoa; 

7 (5) an independent oversight body should be des8 ignated and supported to work with the chocolate in9 dustry, national governments, and nongovernmental 

10 organizations on the progress of the development and 

11 implementation of the certification system by July 1, 

12 2008, through a series of public reports; 

13 (6) the governments of West African nations that 

14 grow and manufacture cocoa should consider child 

15 labor and forced labor issues top priorities; 

16 (7) the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking 

17 in Persons of the Department of State should include 

18 information on the association between trafficking in 

19 persons and the cocoa industries of Cote d’Ivoire, 

20 Ghana, and other cocoa producing regions in the an21 nual report on trafficking in persons that is sub22 mitted to Congress; and 

23 (8) the Department of State should assist the 

24 Government of Cote d’Ivoire and the Government of 
333 

HR 3057 PP 

1 Ghana in preventing the trafficking of persons into 

2 the cocoa fields and other industries in West Africa.
