Annotation

The United Nations Center for International Crime Prevention (CICP) launched a Global Program against Trafficking in Human Beings in March 1999; this program consists of research, technical cooperation, evaluation, and the formulation of an international strategy against human beings.

Abstract

The CICP, the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute, and other international and national organizations that address human trafficking issues will conduct the program. The program aims to enable countries of origin, transit, and destination to develop joint strategies and practical actions against trafficking in human beings. Thus, the program will empower donor and recipient countries to address a common problem to their mutual benefit in a manner that transcends a purely bilateral approach. Technical cooperation projects have begun or are under development in the Philippines, Eastern Europe, Brazil, and West Africa. 6 references
