Regional and subregional cooperation in promoting a human rights-based approach to combatting trafficking in persons 2010, para. 15
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Numerous cooperation mechanisms already exist at the international level, with international organizations such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), carrying out research, awareness-raising activities and training, developing legal instruments and guidelines and funding field projects. However, efforts at that level are not sufficient. They need to be complemented and adapted to a regional perspective, which provides a better setting for closer cooperation, facilitated by a stronger feeling of ownership and greater adaptability to local approaches and realities on the ground.
