Regional and subregional cooperation in promoting a human rights-based approach to combatting trafficking in persons 2010, para. 43
Paragraph
Paragraph text
In addition, regional organizations have an essential role as catalysts and advisers in promoting the adoption of national plans of action (NPAs). In many instances, regional mechanisms have been able to guide States in the development of NPAs, also with the objective that countries of a same region would adopt similar national plans, in order to better cooperate and share information and experiences. For example, as a result of the CoE LARA Project designed to support the reform of criminal legislation in South-Eastern Europe (2002-2003), nearly all the participating countries have adopted NPAs against trafficking in human beings covering prevention, prosecution of traffickers and protection of the victims.
