OAS WILL TRAIN ECUADORIAN OFFICALS ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING
December 7, 2009
The Organization of American States (OAS), through its Department of Public Safety of the Secretariat of Multidimensional Security, in conjunction with the Government of Ecuador, will conduct the following training seminar on December 8 and 9: “Challenges of Globalization in Matters of Migration: Fighting Human Trafficking from Asia to the Americas.”
This training seminar is addressed to prosecutors, immigration officers, police, officials of the Ministry of Foreign Relations and of the Ministry of Government, Police and Worship, and other officials that work on the subject of human trafficking, with the goal of identifying and analyzing this crime at the national level, identifying existing routes (particularly from the region of Asia) as well as the challenges of effective intergovernmental cooperation.
The training will include expositions by experts from the Prosecutor’s Office of Ecuador’s Special Unit on Migratory Crimes, Tourism and Illegal Traffic of Migrants; INTERPOL; the Unit of Restricted Visas of the General Office on Migration and Immigration of Costa Rica; the International Organization for Migration (OIM); and NGOs like the Florida Coalition against Human Trafficking, Alianza por Tus Derechos (“Alliance for Your Rights”), and Save the Children, among others. The expositions will cover diverse subjects like protection and identification of victims of human trafficking; safety and identity documents; human trafficking from Asia to Central America; the importance of the use of appropriate maps; security and migratory flows.
The Department of Public Safety hopes that this event will contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of this crime in Ecuador.
The event is made possible thanks to the financial contribution of the Department of State of the United States, as part of the program, “Western Hemisphere Human Trafficking.”
