Stop, Look, Listen

Written on 06 August 2009.

As of October 2008, discussion on a review of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime (UNTOC) and its Protocols (including the Human Trafficking Protocol) are underway. A working group of States has been established to discuss this issue and make recommendations to states who have signed this Convention, with a final decision to be determined in October 2010.

A review mechanism could offer a unique and important opportunity for NGOs to raise the impact of States anti-trafficking measures on trafficked persons at an international level, as well as opportunity to call for better protection of human rights.

As such, GAATW has launched an Urgent Action to advocate States to support the establishment of an inclusive and transparent review mechanism.
