ABUSIVE CHILD LABOR PRACTICES IN COCOA INDUSTRY 
SEC. 6114. (a) The Senate makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) The plight of hundreds of thousands of child 
slaves toiling in cocoa plantations in West Africa was 
reported in a series by Knight Ridder newspapers in 
June 2001. (global) 
(2) The report found that some of these children 
are sold or tricked into slavery. Most of them are be-
330 
HR 3057 PP 
tween the ages of 12 and 16 and some are as young 
as 9 years old. 
(3) There are 1,500,000 farms in West Africa 
that produce approximately 72 percent of the total 
global supply of cocoa, with Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana 
producing about 62 percent and 22 percent, respec-
tively, of the total cocoa production in Africa. Other 
key producers are Indonesia, Nigeria, Cameroon, and 
Brazil. 
(4) United States consumers purchase over 
$13,000,000,000 in chocolate products annually. 
(5) On September 19, 2001, representatives of the 
chocolate industry signed a voluntary Protocol for the 
Growing and Processing of Cocoa Beans and their 
Derivative Products in a Manner that Complies with 
ILO Convention 182 Concerning the Prohibition and 
Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst 
Forms of Child Labor. 
(6) The Protocol outlines 6 steps the industry 
formally agreed to undertake to end abusive and 
forced child labor on cocoa farms by July 2005. 
(7) A vital step of the Protocol was the develop-
ment and implementation by the industry of a cred-
ible, transparent, and publicly accountable industry- 
wide certification system to ensure, by July 1, 2005,
331 
HR 3057 PP 
that cocoa beans and their derivative products have 
not been grown or processed by abusive child labor or 
slave labor. 
(8) Since the Protocol was signed, some positive 
steps have been taken to address the worst forms of 
child labor and slave labor in cocoa growing, but the 
July 1, 2005, deadline for creation and implementa-
tion of the certification system was not fully met. 
(b) It is the sense of the Senate that— 
(1) the cocoa industry is to be commended, as the 
Protocol agreement is the first time that an industry 
has accepted moral, social, and financial responsi-
bility for the production of raw materials, wherever 
they are produced; 
(2) the Government of the Republic of Cote 
d’Ivoire and the Government of the Republic of 
Ghana should be commended for the tangible steps 
they have taken to address the situation of child labor 
in the cocoa sector; 
(3) even though the cocoa industry did not fully 
meet the July 1, 2005, deadline for creation and im-
plementation of the labor certification system, it has 
agreed to redouble its efforts to achieve a certification 
system that will cover 50 percent of the cocoa growing 
regions of Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana by July 1, 2008;
332 
HR 3057 PP 
(4) the cocoa industry should make every effort 
to meet this deadline in Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana and 
expand the certification process to other West African 
nations and any other country where abusive child 
labor and slave labor are used in the growing and 
processing of cocoa; 
(5) an independent oversight body should be des-
ignated and supported to work with the chocolate in-
dustry, national governments, and nongovernmental 
organizations on the progress of the development and 
implementation of the certification system by July 1, 
2008, through a series of public reports; 
(6) the governments of West African nations that 
grow and manufacture cocoa should consider child 
labor and forced labor issues top priorities; 
(7) the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking 
in Persons of the Department of State should include 
information on the association between trafficking in 
persons and the cocoa industries of Cote d’Ivoire, 
Ghana, and other cocoa producing regions in the an-
nual report on trafficking in persons that is sub-
mitted to Congress; and 
(8) the Department of State should assist the 
Government of Cote d’Ivoire and the Government of
