UN Criticises SADC Over Trafficking Convictions
The United Nations (UN) says that no one in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has ever been convicted of human trafficking.
The UN Office of Drugs and Crime regional representative, Jonathan Lucas, points out that, “In the whole of the SADC region there has not been a single conviction for human trafficking.”
Currently, only five of the 15 SADC countries have proposed legislation to deal specifically with human trafficking, with South Africa tabling its draft anti-trafficking legislation to Parliament this week.
