The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime today launched a toolkit to help Governments, policy-makers, law enforcement agencies and NGOs tackle human trafficking more effectively.
It contains practical tools for police and other law enforcement officers such as a checklist to help identify trafficking victims as well guidance on interviewing victims and victim protection.
The toolkit also outlines key aspects of a comprehensive response to human trafficking, such as the need to bring national legislation into line with international standards and strengthen international cooperation in criminal justice, including the extradition of criminals, seizure of assets and confiscation of the proceeds of crime.
UNODC Executive Director Antonio Maria Costa said robust international collaboration was essential in fighting trafficking. “Traffickers make a mockery of national borders. International cooperation is the basic condition for a successful response to human trafficking,” he said.
