BSR | Human Rights Impact Assessment: Facebook in Myanmar 39 CHILD RIGHTS As specified in Article 25 of the UDHR and Article 10 of the ICESCR, motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. The Convention on the Rights of the Child requires that the best interests of children must be the primary concern in making decisions that may affect them. Risk / Opportunity Severity Factors Management Factors What is the potentially adverse human rights impact that might happen in the future? Scope (How many people could be affected by the harm/opportunity?) Likelihood (How likely is the impact to happen over next five years?) Scale (How serious are the impacts for the victim?) Attribution (How closely is Facebook connected to the impact?) Remediability (Will remedy restore the victim to same or equivalent position?) Children may be communicated with on the Facebook platform in ways that may result in offline harm, such as psychological harm, trafficking, and sexual exploitation. Children may access inappropriate content on Facebook. Child sexual abuse material may be distributed on Facebook. Scope: Children over 13 but less than 18 who may be using Facebook. Scale: The consequences for children can range from mild to severe, including violations of their right to life, liberty, and security of person. (See Security risks, above). Remediability: Some access to remedy does exist, such as private content being removed, data being purged, or passwords being changed. However, violations of child rights can have permanent impacts, including on mental and physical health and well-being. Leverage (How much ability does Facebook have to effect change?) Likelihood: Lack of digital literacy and the rule of law in Myanmar make the likelihood of these risks occurring higher than in many other markets. The lack of local law enforcement capacity or partnership increases these risks, too. Attribution: Facebook does not cause or contribute to these violations, but is linked to them via its products and services. Leverage: Facebook has leverage available via implementation of the Community Standards, efforts to increase digital literacy, raising awareness of the Community Standards, and seeking partnerships with law enforcement agencies.
