Joining forces: UNODC hosts workshop to promote collaboration among criminal justice, health officials, and civil society to counter human trafficking for organ removal
During February and March 2023, the STARSOM project continued its efforts to foster cooperation between countries along the same migrant smuggling routes by organizing two operational meetings between Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama, as well as between the Maldives and Sri Lanka.
The smuggling of migrants affects all regions of the world and is often facilitated by organized criminal groups. Smuggling routes, from their points of origin to their destinations, often combine land, sea, and air segments, and are rarely limited to a single mode of transport.
The groups involved in this crime pose a risk not only to the countries affected by their criminal activities, but also to the safety of the people they smuggle, who are often exposed to mistreatment and abuse during their journey.
