1 Identification, Assistance, and Protection of Jeju, Republic of Korea, March 2014 Human trafficking is a vicious chain that binds victims to criminals. We must break this chain with the force of human solidarity. 1 Event Background and Introduction UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon Trafficking in persons is a violation against human rights. It involves the act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harbouring or receiving a person through the use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploitation. Virtually every country in the world is affected by trafficking for sexual exploitation or forced labour 2 as a country of origin, transit or destination. 3 Every year, thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their home countries and abroad. While estimates of the number of persons trafficked vary, ILO research from 2012 indicates that an estimated 20.9 million persons, around 3 out of every 1,000 people globally, are subjected to forced labour. Even this staggering figure is largely considered a conservative estimate given the clandestine nature of the crime, and the strict methodology applied. The Asia-Pacific region records by far the highest rates of human trafficking in the world. The same ILO report as mentioned above, estimates that some 11.7 million people from the region are in conditions of forced labour at any given point in time. UNODC s 2012 Global Report on Trafficking in Persons 4 demonstrated that, while human trafficking is truly a global phenomenon, it most commonly occurs intra-regionally, with each region and sub-region experiencing unique and geographically-characterized patterns for origins and destinations. CIFAL Jeju focuses on the key thematic area of human security. Trafficking in persons impacts on the capability of human beings to drive their own lives and decide on their future. It is a crime which supports exploitation. Therefore it has a direct impact on human security. Various regional efforts are being made to combat the trafficking industry. CIFAL in affiliation with UNITAR has become a knowledge hub and platform for promoting city-to-city cooperation. Through this approach, CIFAL directs its capacity building efforts towards local actors. Cities in the Asia-Pacific region can substantially improve the situation by focusing and sharing experiences on the prevention of trafficking, prosecution of traffickers and the protection and reintegration of victims of trafficking. Local authorities (stakeholders) are often well placed for taking action because they are close to the communities. The Republic of Korea is a member of the Bali Process on People Smuggling, Trafficking in Persons and Related Transnational Crime (Bali Process). Since 2002, the Bali Process has effectively raised regional awareness of the consequences of people smuggling, trafficking in persons and related transnational crime, and developed and implemented strategies and practical cooperation in response. This voluntary forum includes 45 participating countries, as well as IOM, UNHCR and UNODC. The core objectives of the Bali Process are to combat people smuggling and trafficking in persons by developing more effective cooperation and information sharing between Bali Process members and other relevant organizations; to raise public awareness and educate those susceptible to people smuggling and trafficking in persons; to build capacity across Member States and facilitate the sharing and implementation of best practices; and to advance the facilitation of the 2011 Bali Process Regional Cooperation Framework as a means of adopting a comprehensive and holistic approach towards combating people smuggling and trafficking in persons. The Regional Support Office of the Bali Process (RSO) has been established to facilitate the operationalization of the Bali Process Regional Cooperation Framework (RCF) to reduce irregular migration in the Asia and Pacific region. 1 Remarks at at the General Assembly's high-level meeting on Improving the Coordination of Efforts against Trafficking in Persons, 13 May United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Human Trafficking: An Overview There is a lack of international consensus on the concepts and definitions of forced labor, slavery, slavery-like practices, and trafficking, and the microscopic focus of reports, testimonies, government and NGO statistics on victims identified and assisted, leads to lack of data to better combat forced labor and human trafficking. ( 4 See UNODC s 2012 Global Report on Trafficking in Persons for more information. 1
