United Nations, “Toolkit to Combat Trafficking in Persons”

At the third session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention

against Transnational Organized Crime and its Protocols (Vienna, 9-18 October 2006), various

requests were made of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) as

the secretariat of the Conference of the Parties. Among them was to develop guidelines and

collect and disseminate of successful practice with respect to:

Victim identification

Investigation of offences

Victim assistance and repatriation

Training and capacity-building

Awareness-raising strategies and campaigns

While this Toolkit is not offered in direct fulfilment of those requests, it has been drafted

with the Office’s strong commitment to comply with them in mind. The present edition

updates and expands the version of the Toolkit published in 2006 (United Nations publication,

Sales No. E.06.V.11).

As the international cooperation which is crucial to successfully prevent trafficking, prosecute

the culprits and protect and assist its victims gains global momentum, UNODC is honoured

to present examples of promising practice from around the world relating to trafficking

interventions. The promising practice and recommended resources included in this

Toolkit by no means comprise an exhaustive collection of successful, creative and innovative

responses to trafficking. Nor are they necessarily in absolute accordance with the antitrafficking

policies of UNODC. However, in the light of the urgent need for cooperative

and collaborative action against trafficking, examples have been included with the intention

both of commending such initiatives and of demonstrating the range of resources available

to assist users in undertaking the anti-trafficking efforts which may feature in the next edition

of this Toolkit.

The fact that trafficking in persons occurs today is a horrifying reality. The fact that there

is more we could be doing collectively to combat it should be a global call to arms. It is

hoped that the guidance offered, the practice showcased and the resources recommended

in this Toolkit may inspire and assist policymakers, law enforcers, judges, prosecutors,

victim service providers and members of civil society in playing their role in the global effort

against trafficking in persons.

Aims and purpose of the Toolkit

The overarching goals of this Toolkit are those of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and

Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United

Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime,1 which w

To prevent and combat trafficking

To protect and assist its victims

To promote international cooperation

In pursuit of these goals, the Toolkit seeks to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and

information among policymakers, law enforcers, judges, prosecutors, victim service providers

and members of civil society who are working at different levels towards these same

objectives.
