67/190. Improving the coordination of efforts against trafficking
in persons
The General Assembly,
Reiterating its concern that, despite sustained measures taken at the
international, regional and national levels, trafficking in persons remains one of the
grave challenges facing the international community, which also impairs the
enjoyment of human rights and needs a more concerted collective and comprehensive
international response,
Recalling the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized
Crime 1 and the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons,
Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention
against Transnational Organized Crime, 2 which provided the definition of the crime
of trafficking in persons, the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of
the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography 3 and the
Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade, and
Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery, 4
Recalling also its resolution 64/178 of 18 December 2009 on improving the
coordination of efforts against trafficking in persons and other relevant General
Assembly resolutions on trafficking in persons and other contemporary forms of
slavery, 5
Reaffirming its resolution 64/293 of 30 July 2010 on the United Nations
Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons,
Recalling Economic and Social Council resolution 2008/33 of 25 July 2008 on
strengthening coordination of the United Nations and other efforts in fighting
