OAS WILL TRAIN TRINIDADIAN CONSULAR OFFICERS TO COMBAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING
June 26, 2009
The Department of Public Security (DPS) of the Secretariat for Multidimensional Security (SMS) is currently implementing the “Training Institutes of Foreign Affairs on Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children” Program. As part of this program, a 2-day training seminar will take place in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago from June 30-July 1, 2009 to train Trinidadian consular officers in the prevention and identification of human trafficking cases and the protection of victims.
The training aspires to build specific competencies in consular officials, as well as officers from other ministries involved in the fight against human trafficking: the first is to increase understanding of the crime of trafficking in persons within a human rights framework so that consular officials are better equipped to offer victim protection. In addition, participants will be trained to understand the difference between trafficking and smuggling, better appreciate the causes of trafficking in persons (particularly emphasizing vulnerable populations) and learn how to recognize victims. Finally, participants will become familiar with the various forms of exploitation (sexual exploitation, slavery, etc.) and determine the kind of assistance that might be required.
At the conclusion of the seminar, copies of the training materials specifically developed by the DPS for this program will be given to the authorities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Trinidad and Tobago so that future generations of consular officers can be trained on the issue of trafficking in persons.
It is further expected that this program will serve to improve international cooperation and coordination among the Ministries of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in the Latin American and Caribbean region. To date over 450 participants from Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Peru, and Haiti have been trained through his program.
