THE OAS WILL TRAIN HAITIAN CONSULAR OFFICIALS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING
February 17, 2009
To continue with the “Training Program for Consular Officials on the Prevention and Protection of Victims of Human Trafficking,” the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS), through the Department of Public Security (DPS) of the Secretariat for Multidimensional Security, will train from the 18th and 19th of February, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, the consular staff of that Caribbean nation in matters related to the fight against human trafficking.
Such training, which also took place during 2008 and beginning of 2009 in the headquarters of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and the Diplomatic Academies of Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and the Dominican Republic, will be carried out in Haiti, and will count with the participation of the consular officials of Haiti’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with civil servants of other national institutions linked to the fight against human trafficking.
The course’s objective is to offer training and promote awareness towards the need to prevent human trafficking and attend the victims of such crime, as well as encourage knowledge on gender and human rights issues. Roughly forty civil servants will participate in the training. During the course, lectures will be given on basic matters on human rights, on the international law framework with regard to human trafficking, the global panorama on the situation of human trafficking, the different types of exploitation in which this crime occurs, fighting initiatives against trafficking, and other gender issues, as well as other related themes such as the demand and creation of a reference network for victims of human trafficking and their consular identification and protection.
In addition, the OAS will give the Haitian Ministry of Foreign Affairs training materials specifically developed for this program, so that future generations of Haiti’s Foreign Service will count with the necessary training in preventing crimes of human trafficking and to supply the victims with proper consul protection.
The “Training Program for Consular Officials on the Prevention and Protection of Victims of Human Trafficking” was created by the Department of Public Security of the OAS as an opportunity for the Latin American consular staff to participate actively in the prevention of such crime, as well as in the protection of the victims, having in mind their predominant role in the matter. The event that will take place in Haiti will count with financial support from the US State Department.
