Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Australia-Asia programme to combat trafficking in persons, launched in 2013 to strengthen criminal justice responses in the ASEAN region, is another example of States strengthening partnerships among themselves to address trafficking in persons. Capacity-building of front-line officers dealing with trafficking, the allocation of resources and the establishment or strengthening of data collection mechanisms are also areas which have received attention by States following a visit by the Special Rapporteur. Several international organizations have noted that country visits have provided valuable opportunities for stakeholders to convey their views and insights to the higher levels of Government and that the subsequent reports were an excellent source of useful, high-quality information and advocacy tools.
