OAS Trains Chilean Officials in Prevention and Combating of Human Trafficking
July 18, 2012
The Organization of American States (OAS) today inaugurated a two-day training course on measures to fight human trafficking for some 45 police and immigration officials, judges, prosecutors and civil society representatives in Santiago, Chile.
The course, entitled "Strengthening the Capacity of Law Enforcement, Immigration Officers, Prosecutors and Judges in South America to Prevent and Combat Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children," aims to increase the level of knowledge among police about the crime of trafficking of human beings; strengthen the role of police, prosecutors, courts, and support staff in their ability to enforce laws to combat this scourge; increase information sharing among the agencies involved in combating this crime in South America; and strengthen the ability of participants to protect victims.
To that purpose, the program will train officials in government agencies on issues such as the distinction between smuggling and human trafficking; crime scene management; the identification, assistance and protection of victims; the standard operating procedures for immigration control; coordination between the various agencies, and the lessons learned about public relations campaigns and their effect on the facilitation of complaints. The program has the financial support of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons of the United States State Department.
The crime of trafficking is a modern form of slavery and a violation of human rights involving not only the sexual exploitation of adults and minors, but also forced labor, involuntary servitude, and the use of children in armed conflict.
