OAS to Provide Training in Trafficking in Persons to Law Enforcement and Immigration Officers, Judges, and Prosecutors in El Salvador and Guatemala
August 20, 2010
The Organization of American States (OAS), through its Department of Public Security (DPS), on August 25 will begin in El Salvador the third training phase of its program, “Strengthening the Capacity of Security Forces, Immigration Officials, Prosecutors and Judges in Central America to Prevent and Combat Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children.” The goal is to train at least 45 police and immigration officers, prosecutors and judges in El Salvador during the two-day training seminar. Also, on August 30 and 31 the fifth training phase of the program will be held in Guatemala, and another 45 police and immigration officers, prosecutors and judges in Guatemala will be trained.
The program aspires to increase awareness of the crime of trafficking among law enforcement; strengthen the role of police, prosecutors’ offices and courts in their capacity to implement laws to combat trafficking; increase the exchange of information between agencies involved in combating human trafficking in the Caribbean region; and strengthen the capacity of law enforcement officers to protect victims.
Towards such goals, the program directed by OAS experts will train employees of law enforcement agencies in such areas as the distinction between trafficking and smuggling; crime scene management; victim identification, assistance and protection; and standard operating procedures for immigration control. The program is partly funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
Trafficking in persons (TiP) is a modern-day form of slavery and a violation of basic human rights involving not only coercive sexual exploitation, but also forced labor, involuntary servitude, and child soldiers, among others.
