Another important issue is the extensive backlog of trafficking cases in the courts. The establishment of specialized courts could help to remedy this; for example, Argentina and Uruguay have created specialized courts to deal exclusively with trafficking cases. More recently, the Chief Judge of Edo State in Nigeria granted approval to develop two special courts to try human trafficking cases. The United States and Mexico have each made efforts to develop specialized units to prosecute cases of trafficking in persons.
