The thematic chapter of the 2016 edition of the Global Report looks at how migrants and refugees can be vulnerable to trafficking in persons, en route or at destination. It also analyses the particular condition of people escaping war, conflict and persecution.

The First Aid Kit is envisaged as a compact, user-friendly, concise guide at the most practical level, adaptable to country-specific requirements, to assist regular (non-specialized) law enforcement officers who may have to deal with trafficking in persons cases. The First Aid Kit complements the existing UNODC Anti Trafficking Training Manual and other practitioner-focused material for criminal justice officials.

The Human Trafficking Knowledge Portal is an initiative to facilitate the dissemination of information regarding the implementation of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and specifically the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. By creating this portal, UNODC is working to increase the visibility of successful prosecutions and, at the same time, promote awareness of the realities of this devastating crime. Such a portal enables users to read about human trafficking issues, consult court decisions and practices from different countries and broaden their knowledge of human trafficking crimes.

La presente iniciativa busca fortalecer las capacidades de instituciones que brindan servicios de asistencia jurídica en ofrecer soporte jurídico, amplio e integrado que atienda las múltiples necesidades de las víctimas mediante la promoción y fortalecimiento de Núcleos de Atención a Víctimas.

This Case Digest has analysed 135 cases of human trafficking from 31 jurisdictions. It benefited from the input from experts from all parts of the globe. It is hoped that criminal law and other practitioners may be able to learn from the actual cases which are presented, both by understanding that they are not alone in facing certain patterns and issues, and by deriving assistance from the tools that courts worldwide have developed.
