Strengthen international cooperation in combating human trafficking
29/11/15
Human trafficking is a serious crime and human rights
violation. Each year, thousands of men, women and children are victims of
traffickers in their home countries and abroad. According to the UN, 21 million
people are victims of modern slavery. All countries are affected by human trafficking,
whether it is country of origin, transit or destination for victims. Slavery,
in the form of ancient and modern, is not only embarrassing but also as “the worst
of all the despicable acts” which has no place in this world.
In 2010, the General Assembly of the UN adopted a global action
plan to combat human trafficking, calling on governments to take measures to
coordinate and deal specifically with this scourge. The plan called for fighting
against human trafficking with the expansion program of the United Nations to
promote development and enhance global security. One of the crucial provisions
of the Plan is the establishment of a voluntary fund of the United Nations for
the victims of human trafficking, especially women and children.
In 2013, the UN General Assembly held a high-level meeting to
evaluate the Global Action Plan. The member countries also adopted Resolution
68/192. The resolution affirmed that World Day Against Human Trafficking is
necessary to highlight the status of victims of human trafficking and promote
protection of their rights.
The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said:
Worldwide, the criminals sell people for profit. The most vulnerable victims of
human trafficking, including acts of sexual abuse torture, are women and girls.
That is often the promise of a good paying job. These migrants through
dangerous waters and scorching desert to escape conflicts, poverty or
persecution can also be victims of human trafficking. Victims can be people who
are alone in foreign countries, where their passports are confiscated,
sentenced to bear the debts and labor exploitation. Life of children and young
people is stolen, and education is interrupted. The most basic rights and their
fundamental freedom are violated.
"The networks of human trafficking are flourishing in
the country, where the rules of law are uncertain and international cooperation
is difficult. The United Nations
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged all countries to fight against money
laundering, signe and ratify the UN Convention Against Corruption, the UN
Convention Against organized Transnational Crime and the Protocol on Human Trafficking.
According to this senior official of the UN, we must also
provide significant support to those in need, particularly with regard to the
protection, access to justice and relief. All nations must unite to support and
protect the victims as well as bring criminals to justice in order to eliminate
this transnational threat.
