Argentina, January 8, 2011
Julio Alak, Minister of Justice of the Nation, presented a new proposal regarding trafficking of people. Thus it seeks to penalize the customer involved with the network to have sex. The initiative already has the support of the Organization of American States (OAS).
Through a statement, Alak recalled that “The Organization of the United Nations gave in Vienna last May another key international support to progress in the review of laws and to establish the penalty to clients involved with the exploitation of people”.
The OAS had already incorporated the issue to its Work Plan for 2010-2012.
On the other hand, a report released by the Department of State of the United States noted that Argentina is in the grade two in the fight against trafficking of persons and assisting victims, thanks to improvements in governmental mechanisms involved in performing those tasks.
Thus, the Argentine government promoted among with the UN, OAS and Brazil’s penalties to customers or users of the exploitation of persons, whether for sexual purposes or not.
