Trafficking in Persons is a heinous transnational crime, which grossly deprives and violates freedom and basic human rights. It involves a complex and sophisticated Modus Operandi that threatens national security and development.
Bhutan National Legal Institute acknowledges the solemnity of the transnational crime and its impact on the country. This concern for the country and the victims of the crime has precipitated into this collaborative Awareness training on Trafficking in Persons (TIPs) for the Judicial Officials. The Institute in collaboration with the Department of Law and Order and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime conducted the phase II of the training on Trafficking in Persons for the judges and judicial officials at Kaila Guest House, Bumthang from 7 – 8 April 2021.
The training aims at equipping the judicial officials to establish a criminal justice system that respects and restores the human rights and needs of the trafficked victims. The nineteen participants were enhanced with skills to adequately detect trafficking cases, identify trafficking victims and implement anti-trafficking legislation in line with national laws.
