UNODC Publishes Comprehensive Training Package for Law Enforcement and Justice Professionals on Investigation and Prosecution of Trafficking in Persons in Tajikistan

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has published a set of four different training manuals for police, prosecutors and judges on the investigation and prosecution of trafficking in persons in Tajikistan.

 

In line with the Trafficking in Persons Protocol supplementing the United Nations Organized Crime Convention, the purpose of the manuals is to support Tajik law enforcement and criminal justice practitioners in the prevention of human trafficking, the protection of its victims, the prosecution of its culprits and in the international cooperation needed to achieve these goals.
