The Organization of American States (OAS) and the government of Belize this week will hold a series of workshops to help broaden the capacity of Belizean law enforcement authorities to identify and understand the crime of trafficking in persons.
The workshops, organized by the OAS General Secretariat in collaboration with Belize’s National Organization for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NOPCAN), will involve training in the use of the Latin American Missing Persons Portal, an online network that allows law enforcement authorities to share information and identify potential cases of human trafficking. In April of this year, Belize became the first country from the English-speaking Caribbean to become part of the Missing Persons Portal.
The training will begin on Tuesday, August 1, at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Belize City. During the two-day workshop at UWI, some 20 police officers from the country’s six districts and San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, will receive intense training on how to operate the network. Once they have completed the workshops, these trained police officers, along with representatives from NOPCAN and Belize's Department of Human Services, will administer similar training to an additional 120 police officers, through eight workshops that will be held around the country. These workshops are scheduled to run from August 3 to 11.
Fernando García-Robles, the coordinator of the OAS Department of Public Security’s Anti-Trafficking in Persons Section, said that “the goal of the training is to help Belizean law enforcement officials, NGOs and relevant government agencies find ways to sustain efforts to combat human trafficking in the country.”
Speakers at the workshops will include García-Robles; Anita Zetina, Chairperson of the Belize Anti-Trafficking in Persons Committee; and NOPCAN Director Denbigh Yorke, as well as other government officials and representatives of nongovernmental organizations. They will address specific ways Belize can tackle the human trafficking issue in the short and long term.
