Several European countries have discussed, or are currently discussing, adopting a similar legal system. After a long debate, in 2009 similar laws were adopted by Norway and Iceland. In 2014, Canada introduced similar legislation, followed by Northern Ireland in 2015 ., France in 2016, the Republic of Ireland in 2017 and Israel in 2018. While some claim that South Korea introduced similar legislation in 2004, "all forms of sex work are criminalised" there. The Korean Act on the Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts, Etc. criminalises both the act of selling and the act of paying for sexual acts, defined as "sexual intercourse" and "pseudo-sexual intercourse using parts of the body, such as the mouth and anus, or implements". The law also criminalises the facilitation of commercial sex acts, regardless of coercion being involved.
