Why is HT important for our members? Aviation is often misused as mean to facilitate human trafficking. Security there is a link between HT and terrorism Airlines will face more regulation - we need to get ahead of the regulatory curve Good corporate citizens (i.e. CSR) - there are legal, reputational and investor relations risks relating to TIP that airlines need to be aware of and to mitigate Moral obligation to do the right thing 21
Airlines can expect more legislation Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children (Palermo Protocol of 2000), Article 11 Border Measures Each State Party shall adopt legislative or other appropriate measures to prevent, to the extent possible, means of transport operated by commercial carriers from being used in the commission of offences established in accordance with article 5 of this Protocol. UN General Assembly New York Declaration (2016) indicated We will establish or upgrade..national and regional antihuman trafficking policies
We already have aviation specific regulations
