OAS to Train Law Enforcement Officials and Prosecutors in Suriname to Combat Trafficking in Persons
April 26, 2010
The Department of Public Security (DPS) of the Organization of American States, with the support of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), will implement a program to train police and immigration officials as well as prosecutors and judges from 13 English-speaking Caribbean countries. The third training program will take place in Paramaribo, Suriname, on April 27-28, 2010.
The program, called, “Strengthening Capacity of Law Enforcement Officials, Judges, and Prosecutors in the Caribbean to Identify and Combat Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children”, aims to increase awareness among law enforcement of the crime of trafficking; highlight the need to 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.
Led by OAS anti-trafficking experts, this event will focus on areas such as the distinction between trafficking and smuggling; crime scene management; victim identification, assistance and protection; and standard operating procedures for immigration control. At least 40 Surinamese police officials, prosecutors and judges will join this two-day training course.
