Following the last (June 11 2010) concluding observations of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) on the third and fourth periodic reports sent by the government of Belgium to the UN CRC, the Senate of Belgium is currently examining a bill that proposes to amend the articles 433ter and following of the Belgian Criminal Code. The bill is soon to be debated in the Belgium Senate and expressly provides for the prohibition of the use of children for begging. The document is available in Dutch and French only.
