Articles 1(1), 2(1) and 25 of the Convention. Trafficking in persons. The Committee previously requested the Government to provide information on the application in practice of the Law on Combating Human Trafficking of 2004, indicating the measures taken to provide appropriate protection and assistance to victims of trafficking.

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that a Committee on Combating Human Trafficking was established comprising representatives from the concerned ministries and executive departments including the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Police, the Passport and Border Control Police and the Office of the Interpol National Bureau. The Government states that currently it is seeking a greater collaboration with the abovementioned departments to launch a database on statistics of the victims and sentences issued for convicted traffickers to be presented to the Ministry of the Interior. Once the database is completed and launched, it will be able to provide the Committee with relevant information and data on investigations, prosecutions, convictions and the number of victims of trafficking. The Government also indicates that the Law on Combating Human Trafficking of 2004 is currently under review with the collaboration of the relevant departments.

The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the activities undertaken by the Committee on Combating Human Trafficking to prevent, suppress and combat trafficking in persons, and the results achieved in this respect. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate the progress made in the establishment of an appropriate database related to trafficking, and to provide information, once it is available, on the number of victims, prosecutions, convictions and the penalties applied. The Committee finally requests the Government to provide a copy of the revised Law on Combating Human Trafficking of 2004, once adopted.
