YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 24, ARMENPRESS: A two-day class on "Trafficking in
Human Beings" with the participation of judges and prosecutors kicked
off today in Yerevan conducted by the International Labor Organization
(ILO).
The chief technical consultant of ILO Jolt Dudash said that the class
will promote more deep understanding of the judges and prosecutors
of the issue and will help the judicial bodies to strengthen their
skills for fighting effectively against trafficking. Trafficking is
a crime of international nature and the international experience and
cooperation with the relevant establishments of other countries is
important for fighting against it.
"Effective prosecution of the violators of law is an important
preventive factor and promotes the prevention of trafficking and
forced labor," he said. Relevant work must be carried out in that
direction in Armenia and, according to J. Dudash, it is necessary to
improve the current legislation of the country. He also underscored
the steps directed towards the support of the victims of trafficking.
During the two-day class the participants will discuss trafficking
in human beings, methodology of investigation, improvement of the
defense of witnesses of trafficking. Reports will be presented on
international mechanisms of fighting against trafficking in human
beings and forced labor.
The class is being held within the frameworks of "Comprehensive
Program on Fighting Against Trafficking in Armenia" financed by EU.
